The Black-headed oriole (Oriolus larvatus), is a ѕрeсіeѕ of Old World oriole. It has a very ѕtгіkіпɡ appearance with a bright yellow body, contrasting black һeаd and fɩeѕһ-colored beak.
It breeds in much of Sub-Saharan Africa from South South Sudan and Ethiopia in the north to South Africa in the south.
It inhabits dry tropical forests, especially acacia and broad-leaved woodlands, and dense shrubland areas, where it is more often heard than seen despite the brightness of its plumage.
The voice is a liquid-sounding warble, accompanied by imitations and whistles.
It forages in the canopy, feeding on small fruit as well as large insects. The young are fed mostly with caterpillars.
