Oriolus

Orioles are colourful Old World passerine birds in the genus Oriolus, the namesake of the corvoidean family Oriolidae. They are not related to the New World orioles, which are icterids (family Icteridae) and, belong to the superfamily Passeroidea.

The orioles are a mainly tropical group, although one species (Eurasian golden oriole, O. oriolus) breeds in temperate regions.
