Palmchat

Dulus dominicus

The palmchat is a medium-sized passerine bird endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It is the only species in the genus Dulus and the family Dulidae, and is related to the waxwing family Bombycillidae and the silky-flycatchers in Ptiliogonatidae. Its name reflects its strong association with palms for feeding, roosting, and nesting.
