)
It is endemic to the island of Hispaniola (The Dominican Republic and Haiti ) and its adjacent keys and islets, where it is common and widespread.
This bird builds large communal stick nests, mainly in royal palms (Roystonea sp.), and feeds on flowers, berries and other fruit. It inhabits lowlands to mid-elevations where palm savannas can be found, or other open areas with scattered trees, but also adapts well to areas such as city parks and gardens.
This bird resembles an oriole in structure, but is brownish above, and buff, heavily streaked with brown, below. It does not have the soft silky plumage of the waxwings or silky-flycatchers.
It is the national bird of the Dominican Republic.
