ani
Dark tropical cuckoo
Ani is a tropical American bird with black plumage and a long tail, belonging to the cuckoo family.
Unlike most cuckoos, anis are social birds that live in groups and share communal nests where multiple females lay eggs.

The three species—smooth-billed, groove-billed, and greater ani—are found from the southern United States through South America.
