The Kinabalu Oriole is a distinctive and rather shy bird endemic to the montane forests of northern Borneo. Its plumage is a blend of muted yellow-green and olive tones.
Where to spot
Endemic to the montane forests of northern Borneo, particularly in the Crocker Range and Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.
How to spot
Look for its olive-green upperparts, duller yellowish underparts, and often a dusky head. Listen for its distinct, melodious calls, which are typical of orioles but may be softer and more deliberate due to its shy nature.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early mornings and late afternoons, often foraging quietly in the mid-story and canopy.
