Introduction

The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) is a small to medium-sized songbird that exhibits sexual dimorphism. In addition, Baltimore orioles are migratory, feed primarily on fruits and insects, and build deep cup nests which they use exclusively. This website explores the basic social system of the Baltimore oriole, focusing on social relationships and spacing.
