Feeding Habits
Maroon Oriole primarily consumes wild figs, berries, insects, and nectar. It employs diverse foraging techniques and prefers feeding in the canopy. Unique adaptions enable it to exploit varying food sources.
Habitat
Maroon Oriole typically inhabits subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, including dense moist deciduous, semi-evergreen, or evergreen forests, as well as forest edge habitats. It is found in broadleaf forests such as oak (Quercus) forests and coniferous subtropical pine (Pinus) forests. During winter, maroon Oriole moves into more deciduous forests and nearby plantations. It resides at elevations up to 4000 meters in some regions, but generally at lower elevations during the non-breeding season.
