This bird is a native of Cayenne, in South America, and is described 
by Edwards under the name of the Yellow Starling, and also by the 
Count de BufFon, as the Cayenne Bonana, with a black plumage, and a 
sort of cowl, or coif, on the head, throat, and forepart of the neck, de- 
scending lower before than behind, of a most splendid beautiful yellow 
colour. 
The bill is blackish, strait, conical, very sharp pointed ; the edges cul- 
trated, inclining inwards, and the mandibles of equal length ; the base of 
which is covered with short black feathers, extending from the nostrils to 
the eyes, as expressed in the Plate. The legs and claws are tawny, and 
its length is seven inches ; its extent, eleven. 
These birds are gregarious, frugivorous, and granivorous; and are 
considered as very crafty and voracious ; very numerous, and forming- 
pensile nests.
