Found this bird robbing me of ripe mulberries (Eerwah Vale QLD - near Eumundi Sunshine Coast Hinterland). First photo is in the tree and next after I went to get a few mulberries for myself before they are gone.

The first is a juvenile figbird because of the bare blue skin around the eye and the second is an Olive-Backed Oriole because it has no bare skin around its eye and also it's got the green colouring on its head and the white brow.
Thanks so much. I thought they were the same bird. Are they often seen together?
I'll second what Tim said. And yes, Figbirds and Orioles like to eat the same fruits, so often they will share the tree with the fruit in it.
