The yellow-footed green pigeon (Treron phoenicopterus), also known as yellow-legged green pigeon, is a common
Lower Assam. The species feeds on fruit, including many species of Ficus. They forage in flocks. They are habitat generalists:[5] in the early morning, they are often seen sunning on the tops of emergent trees in dense forest areas, especially Banyan trees,[6] but they have also been spotted in natural remnants in urban areas.[5] Their population is currently increasing.[5]
