The Yellow Oriole is also called the ‘plantain’ and ‘small corn bird’. It has a mainly yellow plumage and the adult male has a black eye mask, thin black throat line, black tail and black wings with a white wing bar and some white feather edging. The female is similar but slightly duller, and the juvenile bird has an olive-tinged yellow back, and lacks black on the face.
This bird eats mainly large insects, but will also take nectar and some fruit.
