golden oriole

The golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus) is a bird species found in Europe and Asia. Males are characterized by their brilliant yellow plumage, contrasted with black wings and tail, while females are typically a more subdued greenish-yellow. These birds are known for their shy nature, often remaining hidden in treetops, but can be identified by their loud whistling calls. They primarily feed on insects and sometimes fruit, inhabiting woodlands and gardens in warmer regions. The golden oriole breeds in central and southern Europe and western Asia, migrating to winter in Africa and southern Asia.12
