The black-naped oriole is very rare in Sri Lanka, but can be found in forests, gardens, and plantations. It is a migratory bird that spends the breeding season in the north and overwinters in the south.

The black-naped oriole (Oriolus chinensis) in Sri Lanka eats a variety of fruits and insects. They are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and animals.
