Neotropical birds

Neotropical birds are species native to Central and South America, including the Caribbean. They inhabit diverse environments such as rainforests, mountains, and grasslands. These birds showcase remarkable diversity in size, shape, and behavior, from vibrant toucans and parrots to hummingbirds and tanagers. Many have adapted to specific ecological niches, playing vital roles in their ecosystems through pollination, seed dispersal, and insect control. The term "Neotropical" highlights their geographic range and ecological uniqueness, making them a key component of the world's biodiversity. Their study helps us understand evolution, adaptation, and conservation in tropical regions.
