Black-naped Orioles (Oriolus chinensis), enjoy a menu of both plants and animals. They like fruit and berries, particularly figs. Besides large insects, they also take small animals, including nestlings. For this reason, during the breeding season of other birds, Black-naped Orioles are often chased away by other birds. They tend to forage high in trees and usually stay within the canopy. Nevertheless, they are not birds of the deep forest. Originally from coastal woodlands and mangroves, they have adapted to cultivated areas and parks and gardens. They are most active in the morning and evenings, making their melodious calls as they forage. The male coloring is bright golden-yellow plumage, with black mask through eyes meeting at nape. The wings and tail are black and yellow, the bill pink, the feet are gray and the eyes red. The female is similar in color but duller with a greenish yellow mantle.
