Olive-green Tyrannulet

Phylloscartes flavovirens

The Olive-green Tyrannulet (Phylloscartes flavovirens) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green plumage, with a yellowish tinge on the underparts. This species is known for its active foraging behavior, often seen flitting among the foliage in search of small insects and spiders. It has a high-pitched, repetitive song that is often heard in its forest habitat. The Olive-green Tyrannulet plays an important role in its ecosystem by controlling insect populations. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss poses a potential risk to its populations.
