Native name EspailoHto. Common, usually associating in flocks of 
from ten to forty or fifty birds. 
Eye dark raw umber ; bill greyish white ; feet whitish. 
A nest of this species was found at Quiribana de Caicara, A[)ril 
26, 1898. It was at the bottom of a hollow in an old stump, about 
four metres from the ground. The eggs were about 60 cm. down 
from opening to the nest cavity. No nesting materials had been used 
and the eggs rested on the bits of decayed wood at the bottom. The 
nest had contained seven eggs but two had already hatched and all 
were at the point of hatching. Both parent birds were seen, but flew 
away and did not return near the nest until long after I had left the 
nest tree.
