Hooded Orioles belong to the same family as Blackbirds. Named for the orange hood on the male, this slender oriole is at home in suburban areas of the southwestern United States, from central California, Nevada through central Arizona. They can be seen hanging upside down whilst searching for food or perched near the ground. They have strong direct flight.

It originally nested in the trees of desert oases, but finds ornamental trees suitable. They feed on insects, fruit, and nectar. The nectar is taken from plants, such as aloes, hibiscus, lilies, and other tubular flowers, by piercing the base of the flower's stem, which has the effect of avoiding plant pollination.
Hooded Orioles are social birds and can be seen flocking with other related birds. A group of orioles is referred to as a "pitch" or a "split".
