Black-headed oriole (Oriolus larvatus) Swartkopwielewaal The black-headed oriole (Oriolus larvatus) is a species of bird in the family Oriolidae. It is found in Africa and has a very striking appearance with a bright yellow body, contrasting black head and flesh-coloured beak. It breeds in much of sub-Saharan Africa from 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 black-headed oriole forages in the canopy, feeding on small fruit as well as large insects. The young are fed mostly with caterpillars. . . . . . . #birds #birdsofsouthernafrica #birdsofsouthafrica #birdsofthekruger #orioles #birdphotography (at Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgO4OfgKwnH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
