Oriole Finch

Icterus oberi

The Oriole Finch (Icterus oberi) is a small passerine bird native to the highlands of New Guinea. It is known for its striking yellow and black plumage, with the male displaying brighter colors than the female. These finches are often found in montane forests and forest edges, where they forage for insects and seeds. They are known for their melodious and varied songs, often heard during the breeding season. The Oriole Finch is considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a relatively wide distribution and stable population.
