Oriolidae

Oriolidae, the Old World orioles, is a family of passerine birds comprising 41 living species in four genera, including orioles, figbirds, pitohuis and piopios, along with two extinct species from New Zealand in the genus Turnagra and at least one other extinct genus. They are medium-sized passerines around 20 to 30 centimeters long with slightly curved, hooked beaks and bright plumage, females typically duller than males, distributed across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, with temperate populations migratory and some tropical species making seasonal movements. Australasian oriole plumage mimics that of friarbirds, likely to reduce aggression from the larger birds toward the smaller orioles, and the family is monogamous, building deep woven cup nests suspended from branches.
