Singapore has 1 species of Oriole, the
Black-naped Oriole Oriolus chinensis. This young bird was squawking and skipping on a pavement beside a hedgerow. It is not ready for flight yet although there hard feathers for flight on the wings. It looks healthy. It was angry at me.
My boy was with me so it was a science lesson for him. Released it. A passerby informed me that the bird was spotted since 1 week ago. An older bird (mommy?) was feeding it. Probably learning to fly or blown off a tree some windy day.
