Oriolidae

The Oriolidae family, also known as Old World orioles, consists of about 30 species of perching birds. These birds are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions and are related to crows. Males are often characterized by vibrant black and yellow or black and orange plumage, sometimes with white markings, while females tend to be more subdued in color. They are generally shy and inhabit treetops, often detected by their loud whistling and jarring calls. Their diet primarily consists of insects, though some species also consume a significant amount of fruit. The golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus) is the only European species, with a range extending into Central Asia and India.12
