A passerine bird of the family Pelopidae. This family consists of only one species, the palm bird. Total length is about 18 cm. Both sexes have a grayish olive back, a slightly darker head, and a white underside with thick dark brown vertical stripes. They have a strong beak and strong legs. They have a fairly long tail. They are found only on the island of Hispaniola and its associated islands in the West Indies. They prefer open areas with tall trees scattered around, and are particularly common where palm trees grow. They live in small flocks of about 10 birds throughout the year, flying actively from tree to tree and feeding on small fruits, berries, shoots and buds.
