The Indian golden oriole is a medium-sized bird with bright plumage. Males are golden-yellow with black wings, females are greenish. It lives in forests and gardens of India and Central Asia.
The Indian golden oriole differs from related species by its brighter yellow color in males and a distinctive voice. It is important for nature because it eats harmful insects and disperses plant seeds.
