They build large communal nests but our visit was apparently during the non-breeding season. More

The palmchat (Dulus dominicus) is the only member of its genus and family. Todies and palmchats are the only two endemic bird families of the Caribbean. Because of the palmchat's evolutionary and taxonomic importance, the Dominican Republic (which occupies two thirds of the island of Hispaniola) has declared it the national bird. The palmchat was first described in 1766 by Linnaeus as a member of the genus Tanagra. In 1847 Haurtlaub classified it under its present genus, Dulus. More
