In addition to the robin, there are other birds that look like orioles, such as the towhees. Robins may be seen all year in the United States, but many relocate to the southern regions during the winter. In the summer, orioles live in the northern and central United States before migrating west and south for the wintertime. Orioles will occasionally descend for fruit on a shorter tree or a slice of orange dangling in a garden. Their nests are built on the upper branches as well. Robins and orioles both nest and perch on deciduous branches, but orioles spend their time in the upper branches, searching for bugs on the plants. They are mostly ground feeders, looking for hidden insects. Robins bounce about the ground, peck and tug for worms. Orioles have a silver-black bill, while robins have a yellow or black bill that changes seasonally. Female robins have a lighter head than males.Īnother striking difference is their beak. As the robins fly, you can see a white patch on the lower abdomen and lower tail. The robins have gray-brown upper and lower feathers, and warm orange underparts. Their heads and backs can be brownish or yellowish, the upper tail is golden brown and the lower tail is yellow. The plumage of the adult female has a greater variation in density. The adult oriole has a jet-black head and back with orange underparts and tail feathers. Baltimore orioles’ chests are vivid orange and Bullock’s orioles’ ones are duller orange. Whereas both birds have characteristic orange chests, the color differences may be quite striking. Meanwhile, orioles, which are part of the blackbird family, are slimmer and smaller, typically 6 to 8 inches in length depending on the species. The robin is a member of the thrush family with a stocky, rounded body, and is sometimes depicted as having a belly. Overall, robins are larger than orioles at about 10 inches in length. We will show you a few distinctive features you can use to tell them apart. However, if you look more closely, you can still see the outstanding features of each species. At first glance, orioles and robins look pretty similar, their chests are orange and they are quite agile, thus causing confusion. ![]()
