 Because of the high adult survival, Montserrat Orioles are long-lived birds and population dynamics depend heavily on adult survival and to a smaller extent on juvenile survival and recruitment.Although nesting success is low, it is possible that Montserrat Orioles could maintain stable populations if re-nesting and long parental care of fledglings compensate for the high mortality of eggs and chicks.The Montserrat Oriole nests are a hanging basket structure sewn onto the underside of horizontal leaves or leaf clusters, which is typical for the genus.
