No, Oxides of metals are not alkaline in nature. They are basic, because when they react with dilute acids they form salt and water.
They also form metal hydroxide which are alkaline in nature, when dissolved in water.
These metal hydroxide release -OH ions, so they are basic and not alkaline in nature.
