Todus todus
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Jamaican tody, or robin redbreast as it is known on the island, is a tiny bird endemic to Jamaica, brilliant emerald green with a red throat and pink flanks. The todies are a family found only in the Caribbean, with five species spread across the Greater Antilles. It hunts insects from a low perch by looking upwards and taking prey from the undersides of leaves, a technique very rare among birds.
