jamaican tody


Flag of JM
noun Found only in Jamaica, the Jamaican Tody (Todus todus) is a small and colourful bird, predominantly green above, with a red throat and yellow underparts, with some pink on the sides. It has a large head and a long, flat bill. It perches on small branches, with its bills unturned and, like its Cuban relative (the Cuban Tody), takes insects, larvae, and fruit. The Jamaican Tody nests in burrows, which it excavates in muddy banks or rotten wood.

This bird also lives in Puerto Rico. It is called "San Pedrito" .Why you put it only lives in Jamaica is beyond me.

The San Pedritro and Jamaican Tody are two different birds.
