Resumen:
In this study we describe the exploitation of a novel food resource by the Bay-winged Cowbird, Agelaioides badius, on nectar from the flowers of exotic Callistemon speciosus, Eucalyptus sp. and Aloe arborescens. These records suggest that native birds such as the Bay-winged Cowbird may profit from exotic ornamental flowering plants available in suburban and periurban areas.
