El Tordo renegrido is a very common bird in my city Mar del Plata, Argentina and throughout our rural area. It is found in much of the country, is well known for its particular form of reproduction is to lay their eggs in nests of other species, it is known so far that at least parasitizes about 70 species of birds; in the province it is very common to parasitize the chingolo (Zonotrichia capensis) and the large calandria (Mimus saturninus).
It forms large flocks which are usually associated with the short beak thrush (Molothrus rufoaxilaris) to which the young independent from their adoptive parents are added; At dusk, flocks join and spend the night in groves, mountains and even in the trees of squares in cities. It feeds mainly on seeds but also eats some fruits and small insects. It measures 19 cm.
