Rufous-bellied Oriole

Loriotus rufiventer

The Rufous-bellied Oriole (Loriotus rufiventer) is a striking bird found in the forests and woodlands of South America. With its bright yellow plumage, black wings, and distinctive rufous belly, this oriole is a sight to behold. It is known for its melodious and flute-like song, often heard echoing through the forest canopy. Rufous-bellied Orioles are primarily insectivorous, foraging for insects and small fruits in the treetops. They are known for their acrobatic flight and agile movements as they navigate through the dense foliage. These orioles are typically found in humid tropical and subtropical forests, where they build their cup-shaped nests in the canopy.
