Our Silky Oak has been a hive of activity this season with many birds coming to feed on its flowers. Among these were a pair of Olive-backed Orioles. I have also added a video of the call of the Oriole. It sounds just like its name, "oriole". Other birds you may hear are Magpie Lark, Torresian Crow, Rainbow Lorikeet, Common Koel and Figbird.

Great birds and a very nice tree attracting all those different birds.
Great photos of the Olive-backed oriole. It is nice to see birds from around the world.
It's been about 17 years since I've seen an Olive-backed Oriole.
Good sound on the video! I enjoyed the photos, but am glad you ID'd the bird; I was thinking it was something else and wouldn't have checked otherwise.
nice to hear the sound in the movie.
Nice shots of the Olive-backed Oriole Neil. Beautiful coloring on that bird and I love hearing the call too.
Lovely captures!
I totally love the oriole shots.
The way it cranes the neck :D
Great video! It is as if I was there listening to all the birds. Th photos of the Olive-backed Oriole are cool!
Thanks everyone.
What a fantastic-looking (and sounding!) bird you've got there!
Thanks Heather
Every time I try to get a short video clip someone starts some piece of yard equipment that is loud. LOL... Michelle
Thanks Michelle seems they know when I get my video camera out as well.
