Golden-winged cacique

Psarocolius cassini

The Golden-winged cacique (Psarocolius cassini) is a striking bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its vibrant yellow and black plumage, with a distinctive bright yellow patch on its wings. These caciques are social birds, often seen in large, noisy flocks. They are known for their intricate hanging nests, which they build in the treetops. Golden-winged caciques primarily feed on fruits, insects, and nectar, using their sharp beaks to forage in the dense foliage. Despite their striking appearance, they are often elusive and difficult to spot in the dense rainforest.
