The ubiquitous bananaquit

The bananaquit or "chibichibi" is tame and occurs wherever something sweet is to be had -- nectar from a flower, fruit juice, some spilled sugar, ... You'll find them foraging in our backyard bushes or scavenging on the tables at the Hangout Bar, like this one.

Its Dutch name is apt, "suikerdiefje" (sugar thief), as is its Papiamentu name, "barika hel" (yellow belly).
