Black-naped Oriole (5/27)

The only oriole species found in Singapore, this brilliantly yellow-and-black bird is commonly found in parks, gardens and even housing estates. It eats insects and fruits, and makes a very conspicuous “tooo-diddlyoo” call. It was nominated to win the National Bird of Singapore title but eventually lost in votes to the Crimson Sunbird. The Black-naped Oriole was featured on the old Singapore’s $500 notes and two other stamp series.
