Brown-and-yellow marshbirds forage almost exclusively on the ground, often at the edge of a marsh or in a plowed field. They thrust their bills into the ground and gape to expose food (invertebrates and seeds). REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY Monogamous. Nests are placed in marshes, but often in vegetation at the edge of marshes; they also nest in wet roadside ditches. Females build the nest that often is placed in the center of a tuft of pampas grass. More

The Brown-and-yellow Marshbird (Pseudoleistes virescens) is a nonterritorial blackbird with helpers at the nest that inhabits temperate marshy areas and humid grasslands of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. We estimated nesting success of marshbirds throughout the breeding season (late September to mid-December) and analyzed the effects of brood parasitism and nest-site selection (i.e. nesting substrate) on daily survival rates at different stages of the nesting cycle.
