The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) is a small icterid blackbird common in eastern North America as a migratory breeding bird.
All Tree Bird products are built from Corten steel which is something really special. It comes to you raw, but over the course of a few months develops a rust patina on the surface of the metal. This patina forms a barrier layer keeping the cortex from continuing to rust almost as if you painted it, but with this rustic look. The Oriole will last for decades if left to it's own devices.
Dimensions : 11.5" wide x 5" High 1/8 thick Corten
History of the Oriole: It received its name from the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore. Observations of interbreeding between the Baltimore oriole and the western Bullock's oriole, Icterus bullockii, led to both being classified as a single species, called the northern oriole, from 1973 to 1995. Research by James Rising, a professor of zoology at the University of Toronto, and others showed that the two birds actually did not interbreed significantly.
