the greater ani is a large member of the cuckoo family with iridescent black plumage found throughout south america. they are often found in mangrove swamps. the breeding habits of the ani are unusual; two to three breeding pairs form one large communal nest and raise all their chicks together. although ani chicks are able to leave the nest five days after hatching, parents will feed them for several more weeks if they decide to remain.
