The African golden oriole (Oriolus auratus), is a species of Old World oriole which is a resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara. It is a bird of thick bush and other well-wooded areas. The hanging basket-shaped nest is built in a tree, and contains two eggs. The food is insects and fruit, especially figs, found in the tree canopies where the orioles spend much of their time. The flight is somewhat like a thrush, strong and direct with some shallow dips over longer distances. The call is a screech like a jay, but the song is a beautiful fluting fee-ooo fee-ooo, unmistakable once heard.
