black-naped oriole
Black-naped orioles can be found in South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore.
They are the only orioles in Singapore.9 There are, however, two subspecies, though they are virtually indistinguishable in the field. The migratory population breeds in Indo-china and migrates into the north of the Malay Peninsula after the winter season. The residential population, which is a well-established species in Singapore, were a result of an invasion from Indonesia as well as escape of caged birds in the 1920s.
The black-naped oriole can be seen in green spaces such as parks and gardens and at the edge of forests. It is one of the most common bird species in Singapore and consistently makes the top 10 in the annual Singapore Bird Census.
