Yellow Oriole,
Oriolus flavcinctus
-
The Yellow Oriole is a medium-sized,
yellow/olive bird with dark streaks on its wings, red bill and eyes.
-
It is common in tropical rainforest along
large rivers in Australia and its pleasant liquid call is a near constant
sound along the Daintree River and around the Cairns Botanical Gardens
However, it frequents the top of the canopy and can be a difficult bird to
see. One of the best places to see them is around the pool at the Daintree Eco
Lodge.
-
These Orioles are unrelated to the American
Orioles, and are usually referred to as the 'Old World Orioles'.
