Great Kiskadee


Great kiskadee, Pitangus sulphuratus in Suriname


The great kiskadee (length 20 cm) is a bird with yellow
underparts, a white throat and a lot of brown above. It has a
stout bill and a white band around the head.
In the heat of the day it will draw your attention by
calling its name
constantly, sitting
on a telephone wire or on a roof. Most other birds will keep
silent around that time. They make their nest, also on a
conspicious place, from all kinds of plant-material, often with
hay. The kiskadee defends its nest vigorously and even if it has
no nest it wil be aggressive against other birds. It is quite a
common sight to see a kiskadee chasing a much bigger bird of prey
above the houses. But then a hummingbird might chase away a
kiskadee.
