EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving depicts the African Golden Oriole, Oriolus auratus, a vibrant and striking bird native to the savannas and forests of Western Africa. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, Birds of Western Africa, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1837. The illustration is the work of the skilled hand of William Swainson, who expertly captured the intricate details of the African Golden Oriole's plumage, beak, and expressive eyes. The African Golden Oriole is a medium-sized bird, with a length of around 22 cm (8.6 inches) and a wingspan of approximately 30 cm (12 inches). Males and females have similar appearances, with bright golden feathers on their heads, underparts, and wings, contrasting with their black backs and tails. Their distinctive crest feathers add an elegant touch to their appearance. The African Golden Oriole is an omnivorous bird, feeding on a wide variety of fruits, insects, and small reptiles. They are known for their melodic and complex songs, which are used for territorial displays and communication between mates. These birds are also known for their acrobatic flight, which is characterized by their undulating wingbeats and frequent glides. The African Golden Oriole is a widely distributed species, found in countries such as Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Despite their widespread distribution, their populations are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and ensure the survival of this beautiful and iconic bird species.
