Help for identification of birdModerator: BioTeam

Help for identification of birdI live in South East Asia and a baby bird fell out of its nest so we took it in, bought baby bird formula and fed it with a sringe. I looked all over the internet trying to identify it but failed to do so. All i know that it most probably is a type of oriole. However, exactly what type I'm not sure. I would really appreciate it if you could help identify it for me. Here are some pictures:

Navin the bird is a Black Naped Oriole found commonly in Singapore here are a few points you might verify with the bird to find I am right
The Call is described as a fluty four-note whistle what-the-devil! or too-did-yoo or ta-KEE-you; a rising ai-oo-raa; a hissing like fighting tom cats. In the Juvenile bird the underparts are whitish with blackish streaks on breast; bill grey; lacks nape band which is a badge of age which is found in an adult bird.It is a common bird and is found from India to Philippines. They are among the 10 most common birds in Singapore.The picture is of an adult bird taken in Botanic Gardens, Singapore.

Yes, you are probably correct. I did some "bird-watching" today, looking out for streaks oy yellow; i did find about 3 birds that match the description of the black naped oriole due to their distinctive black band around their head. 2 of them must be the parents of the bird. Thanks for helping. Oh, yes, for those who want to see more pictures of how an adult would look like, here you go: And, again thanks a lot David.

Thanks for the well wishes. Anyway i guess we can find such birds in Singapore as afterall this is the tropics. However, I certainly hope they do stay in Singapore as due to development, pollution and destruction of habitat may result in the diminishing of species in Singapore. But, at the same time, conservation efforts in Singapore are ensuring that that scenario does not occur.

I agree with Navin Singapore is a cool place to visit hope I can visit it once again.
