This very well-known bird is wi<strong>de</strong>spread, easy to<br />
see and very pretty. The Great Kiska<strong>de</strong>e is an agitated,<br />
noisy bird that feeds on insects and fruit, though it will<br />
also eat small lizards, chicks of other bird species, human<br />
leftovers and anything else that happens to be around.<br />
It builds its nest at the top of tall trees. The nest is<br />
basically a large ball of grass, twigs and slen<strong>de</strong>r roots,<br />
and takes about a month to build. While incubating<br />
their eggs and raising the chicks, the pair will protect<br />
the nest by crying out and attacking possible predators.<br />
It takes its popular Brazilian name from its famous<br />
call – ben-tivi!, which sounds remarkably like “Saw ya!”<br />
in Portuguese. The bird will perch in exposed areas such<br />
as tree tops and posts in or<strong>de</strong>r to sing, thus brin ging a<br />
lot of attention to itself.<br />
