| Members of the family Icteridae are known as troupials, meaning they have the habit of gathering into large flocks or troupes. |
| Above the sounds of the powerful wind, parakeets and troupials can be heard chattering, and the bleating of goats reverberates across rolling hills. |
| You can see the troupials just about everywhere on the island. |
| The mammal species that are present include goats, foxes, anteaters, rabbits and bats, while the birds are hawks, partridges, daras, pigeons, troupials and a type of cardinal. |
| The eggs are incubated for 15 or 16 days and newly hatched troupials are fed equally by both parents. |
