Description

took this through my window. :)
I'm not a bird expert so i'm not sure what kind of bird this is.
If you do know feel free to share :D

I see these guys now and then.
just glad i got to take a picture of one of them.
Taken in Trinidad by the way.

I have no idea if the bird is indigenous to the Caribbean or not or just passing through lol


***:bulletblue: edit :bulletblue:***

thanks to :iconnamu-the-orca:,
i now know the name of this bird. Crested oropendola (Psarocolius decumanus)
so i looked it up. Yes Trinidad is one of the countries it's indigenous to (which is pretty cool to me lol :happybounce:) so it has some other local names as well. check out those two sites for some more info.

This is a Crested oropendola (Psarocolius decumanus), a native to Trinidad. You're lucky to have them around, I think they're really cool birds. They make the strangest noises when displaying :D
