1. Black-headed Oriole {Oriolus larval us). 



2. Golden Oriole {Oriolus galbula). 



The former is common in the bush-veld and forests of South Africa 

 at all times of the year. The latter migrates during the spring into 

 South Africa from Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Both species are 

 greedy devourers of insects and their larvae. They are both efficient 

 policemen of the forests.
