Sao Tome Oriole
Oriolus crassirostris Hartlaub, 1857
Oriolidae — Figbirds, Old World Orioles, Piopios
Sao Tome Oriole, Oriolus crassirostris, is a bird of the family Oriolidae found on São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea. It was described by Hartlaub in 1857. Endemic to the island, it occurs across most of São Tomé, though it is absent from the north-east urban area. It is most numerous in the south-west and on the central massif. Its habitat includes moist lowland forest and moist montane forest. Habitat loss is a threat, especially in the remaining lowland rainforest.
