The great kiskadee is a bold and vibrant bird found in open habitats across Central and South America, including forests, savannas, and mangroves. It has a yellow belly, black-and-white head, and a prominent crest. Known for its loud, distinctive call, the great kiskadee feeds on insects, small fish, and fruits.

It plays an important role in insect control and seed dispersal. While not currently threatened, it faces risks from habitat destruction and human disturbance.
