- Oriolus sagittatus
Identification
Olive-green head and back, grey wings and tail, and cream underparts, streaked with brown, bright red eye and reddish beak. Females can be distinguished from males by a paler bill, duller-green back, and an extension of the streaked underparts up to the chin.
Distribution
Australia and New Guinea.
Taxonomy
Habitat
Forests, woodlands and rainforests.
Behaviour
Diet includes insects and fruit.
The female builds a cup-shaped nest of bark and grass, bound with spider webs, which is attached by its rim to a horizontal fork on the outer-edge of the foliage of a tree or tall shrub. The female incubates the eggs alone, and the male helps to feed the young.
