The Cocos tyrannulet is a small brown tyrant flycatcher endemic to that island, where it is one of only three native land birds along with the cuckoo and the finch. It catches insects from low perches and has adapted to exploit resources that on the mainland would be taken by several different species, a phenomenon common on islands with few competitors.
