Green-headed Oriole

Oriolus chlorocephalus

The Green-headed Oriole (Oriolus chlorocephalus) is a striking bird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant green head, contrasting with a yellow body and black wings. This medium-sized oriole has a melodious and flute-like song, often heard echoing through the forest canopy. The Green-headed Oriole is an adept hunter, feeding on insects, fruits, and small vertebrates. Its presence is often indicated by its distinctive calls and the flash of bright colors as it moves through the foliage. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.
