It is known as Haitha in Upper Assam and Haitol in 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]
