The great kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus), called bem-te-vi in Brazil, is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is the only member of the genus Pitangus. It breeds in open woodland with some tall trees, including cultivation and around human habitation.

What does a kiskadee bird look like?

Kiskadees are an eye-catching mix of black, white, yellow, and reddish-brown. The black head is set off by a bold white eyebrow and throat; the underparts are yellow. The wings and tail are a warm reddish brown that is particularly noticeable in flight.

What do you feed kiskadee?

As the family name suggests, this bird is a derby flycatcher. Its diet mainly consists of insects that it catches in flight, berries and small lizards and frogs on tree branches and sometimes fish and tadpoles that it dives for in shallow waters (Peterson, 2009).
