The Todyidae family consists of small, colorful birds known as todies, native to the Caribbean. These birds are characterized by their vibrant plumage, short tails, and large heads. They typically inhabit forests and woodlands, where they can be found perched on branches, often in pairs or small groups. Todies are insectivorous, primarily feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. They have a unique hunting technique, using their specialized bills to catch prey. The family includes several species, all of which are known for their distinctive calls and playful behavior, making them a delightful sight for birdwatchers in the Caribbean.
