It is the cowbird that actually sings beautifully: long, varied, musical phrases shared in group sessions, several birds singing together in the same bush. It rarely builds its own nest: it prefers to occupy abandoned nests of firewood-gatherers and horneros.
Behaviour
It lives in noisy, tight family groups. It eats seeds and insects on the ground, always near trees.
How and when to see it
All year round in open woodland, tree stands and villages. Follow the chorus: where one sings, several sing.
