Turpial Puertorriqueño (Icterus portoricensis) / Venezuelan Troupial / Icterus icterus

"Troupials are the national bird of Venezuela.

•    They are not social birds and defend their territory strongly.

•    Also known as “bugle birds”, troupials have piercing, melodious voices which make it a popular cage bird.

•    Troupials don’t build nests, they use the nests of other birds as their own."

"A brilliant and brash resident of thornscrub, cactus forests and other arid landscapes. Rather large-headed, often sporting a short shaggy crest, with a blue teardrop of bare skin around each eye, thus differing from most other orioles. Vocalizations are mostly loud and flutelike."
