02:09Unlike the louder, more dramatic calls of other aureoles, the Audubon's aureole sings

02:19in a soft, liquid tone, often described as a series of slow whistle notes like P-O-P-U-P-O.

02:39Each note seems to float gently through the forest air, echoing between the trees.

05:49Just like humans have different voices, no two aureoles sound exactly like.

06:01version, a musical signature of identity.

12:05As far as the identification, the Audubon's Oriole is a medium-sized songbird about 20

12:29to 24 cm or 8 to 9.5 inches in length. It's known for its striking contrast of

12:37yellow and black color. Both the male and female look almost like, which is unusual among Oriole.

12:45The female may have a slightly duller shade of yellow. However, juveniles tend to be the greener

12:52and duller overall, with less black on the head. Audubon's Oriole is an omnivorous bird,

12:59feeding on a mix of insects and spiders, especially caterpillar, beetles, and grass hoopers. They also

13:06tend to eat fruits and berries, nectar from flowers, and occasionally small seeds. They usually

13:13forge quietly in trees or shrubs, searching leaves and bark for hidden insects. Sometimes they may

13:20also visit hummingbird feeders in remote areas. The female builds a hanging basket-like nest,

13:27often deep inside thick vegetation for protection. The nest is made of crosses, fiber, and plant

13:34materials usually suspended from a branch 2 to 6 meters above the ground. She lays 3 to 5 eggs,

13:42pale blue or greenish white, with the dark spots. Both parents have been feeding the chicks, showing

13:48strong pear parts. Interestingly, Audubon's Oriole is sometimes parasitized by the bronzed cowbirds,

13:57which lays its egg in the Oriole's nest. So, Audubon Oriole is generally shy and secretive,

14:05preferring to stay hidden in dense foliage. It moves slowly and methodically through trees,

14:11unlike other Orioles that are more energetic and vocal. They are usually seen alone or in pairs,

14:19rarely in large flocks. They are non-micratory, meaning they stay in their home range year-round.

14:27The Audubon's Oriole is currently listed as least concerned by the IUCN, but its population is

14:35declining in some areas due to habitat loss from agriculture and deforestation, fragmentation

14:42of its woodland environment, and nest parasitism by cowbirds. Because of its restricted range in the

14:50United States, it's considered a species of local conversation interest in Texas. So that Audubon

14:58Oriole is the only Oriole species that lives in the United States year-round without migrating.

15:05It was named after the famous naturalist John James Audubon. Its quite natural and low whistle makes

15:12it one of the most difficult Orioles to find in the wild. It plays an important role in the ecosystem

15:19by controlling insect stabilization and dispersing fruit seeds. So the Audubon's Oriole is a symbol of

15:27tranquility. A bright yellow beauty living in peacefully forests far from the noise of the

15:33world. Its songs gentle yet soulful reflects the calmness of its environment. Watching or

15:40listening to this bird is like stepping into a quiet moment of nature's poetry.
