  tody - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Tody bills are typically broad and flattened, with serrated edges and stiff, whiskerlike rictal bristles.
Typically observed perched in pairs on branches, todies wait until they spy prey, then quickly fly off to catch an insect on the wing or a small lizard on the ground.
Todies are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Coraciiformes, family Todidae.

Two species of endemic todies have evolved on the island of Hispaniola, the Narrow- billed tody (Todus angustirostris) of the rain and cloud forests, and the Broad-billed tody (Todus subulatus) of the desert and subtropical forest region.
The todys have been called "living fossils," as they have all but disappeared on the continents from which they originated.
Using their long beaks, male and female todies commence breeding by carving a tunnel into the matted root system of the trees' capsized trunks.

 Ecological Energetics Of The Puerto Rican Tody: Heterothermy, Torpor, And Intra-Island Variation Ecology - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The extremely small size (5-7 g) of todies, together with their taxonomic affinities (Order Coraciiformes) and tropical distribution, suggest that the thermoregulatory physiology of these birds merits detailed investigation.
Todies range in mass from [sim]5 g to 7 g (Kepler 1972, this study).
The energetics of these birds is of interest for several reasons in addition to their minuscule size.

Their usual hunting technique consists of sallying out from a perch, capture an insect located on a leaf, twig, or in mid-air, and land on another perch, all in one neat, graceful movement.

 Birderblog.com - Cuban Tody--the most adorable bird in the universe?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The good news is that, as you may know, Puerto Rico has its own endemic species of Tody - the Puerto Rican Tody (Todus mexicanus), which, notwithstanding its Latin name, is endemic to Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico has a number of other endemics, including the Puerto Rican Parrot, the elusive Elfin Woods Warbler, and my favorite, the Puerto Rican Woodpecker, which I had the privilege of seeing just a few weeks ago during a short vacation to the island.
These birds are wild, not domestic, and unlike the species of parrots and parakeets that have been raised in captivity for a long time, todies don't have the kind of adaptable intelligence and social structures that would make them happy in cages.
