Introduction of oriole bird
Oriole:

The English name Oriolus chinensis, also known as "oriole" and "yellow bird", belongs to the family Ornithidae, mainly distributed in the warm areas of the old continent, especially in the eastern world. There are 28 species in 2 genera in China, and 5 species in 1 genus. In China, it is distributed in the eastern region, from the northeast, northeast and north of Inner Mongolia, to Guangdong and Yunnan in the south, to Shaanxi, southern Gansu and western Sichuan in the west. For summer migratory birds; Resident birds in Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Province.

The oriole is a soft-eating bird. The wild oriole just caught often refuses to eat because of timidity, and gradually dies of exhaustion, so it is necessary to start artificial breeding. Feed lean pork or beef and mutton strips with a length of 2 cm and a width of 1.5 cm, four times a day. Be careful not to break the beak. At the same time, put porridge-like snack powder into the trough, sprinkle some yellow powdery larvae on the surface to induce them to peck, and don't put it into the sink to promote the water conservancy "food change" on the surface of the oriole trough. With the self-feeding situation in Huang Peng, the number of artificial feeding decreased gradually, and it took 7 ~ 10 days to completely self-feed. During the "feeding change" of orioles, the cage should be protected from light, and blackbirds or other covered cages can be used. Try to keep quiet at first, don't pry or disturb easily except filling food, and gradually open the lid after you can do it yourself.

The breeding period of wild oriole is from May to August, and its nest is built on the transverse branches near the treetops, in the shape of a hanging basket, made of hemp, shredded paper, cotton wool, grass stems and other materials. Each nest lays 2 ~ 4 eggs, pink with purple spots. The incubation period is 14 ~ 16 days. Incubation activities are shared by male and female birds. The chicks eat all insects, mainly moth larvae in the early stage, supplemented by moths and cicadas in the middle and late stage. The feeding period is about 16 days, and the chicks are still fed by their parents for the first 1 ~ 2 days after leaving the nest. Soon after the chicks leave the nest, they begin to return to the south in late August.

The oriole is a "singer" of nature. The voice is round and loud, deep and rhythmic, turning like a spring, crisp as a loom, and very nice. The ancients called its songs Ying Ge and Huang Huang, which were often sung by poets. In ancient times, people wrote poems with the sound of warblers, such as "Sunny spring day, the sound of ploughing", "Warming warblers", "Huang Wei's tongue is gradually tuned", "Summer trees are overcast with orioles", "Hundreds of birds are chirping under the leaves", "Brocade machines are full of warblers" and "treetops are chirping".
