Green Oropendola

Psarocolius viridis

The Green Oropendola is a striking bird found in the forests of South America. It is known for its vibrant green plumage and long tail feathers. These birds are social and often form large, noisy colonies in the treetops. They are skilled at building hanging basket-like nests from vines and fibers. Green Oropendolas have a varied diet, feeding on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. They play an important role in seed dispersal within their habitat. Despite their striking appearance, they are often elusive and difficult to spot due to their preference for high canopy habitats.

Habitat: Tropical forests
