Oriolus oriolus

Oriolus oriolus, commonly known as the Eurasian Golden Oriole, is a migratory bird species that visits Croatia during its breeding season.

Recognizable by its bright yellow plumage, contrasting black wings, and striking melodic song, the Eurasian Golden Oriole inhabits woodlands, riverine forests, and parks. This species primarily feeds on insects, fruits, and berries.

Conservation efforts focused on preserving mature broadleaf and mixed forests with ample canopy cover are crucial for ensuring the survival of Oriolus oriolus in Croatia. Protecting these habitats from deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and illegal hunting supports the biodiversity and ecological health necessary for this beautiful migratory bird.
