Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Thraupidae > Conirostrum > Conirostrum bicolorConirostrum bicolor (Bicolored Conebill)Synonyms: Sylvia bicolor (homotypic) The bicolored conebill (Conirostrum bicolor) is a small passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is a resident breeder in South America from Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad south and east to the Guianas, northeast Peru and Brazil. Its habitat is coastal mangrove swamps and neighbouring woodlands. The small feather-lined cup nest is built in a mangrove tree, and the normal clutch is two brown-blotched buff eggs. Nests are often parasitised by shiny cowbirds. These warbler-like birds eat mainly insects and occasionally seeds. The bicolored conebill's call is a thin tseep. |
