The Galapagos Mockingbird is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
The Galapagos Mockingbird is easily spotted on the Galápagos Islands due to its feathers which are streaked brown and gray, long tail, and smaller size, and black, angled beak. The bird has a darker color than other mockingbirds on the islands causing it to blend in with the coral sand of the islands that it mainly inhabits. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. More
* Galapagos Mockingbird (Mimus parvulus): Found among the majority of islands, except those where one of the other species resides. The ranges for each mockingbird species do not overlap. * Floreana mockingbird (Mimus trifasciatus): This species is extinct on Floreana Island, but continues on its two satellite islets, Champion and Gardner-by-Floreana. These birds nest in Opuntia cacti. More
