Vireo

KIND OF ANIMAL: Bird


FOOD
Vireos eat insects and fruit.

ENEMIES
Owls and hawks hunt for vireos.
So do foxes, weasels and cats.

WHERE THEY LIVE
Vireos live in the forest.
They live in parks and yards too.

 

DID YOU KNOW?
  • Vireos are members of the thrush family. That is the same family robins belong to.
  • Vireos’ beaks are strong. At the tip is a hook. This helps them catch bigger insects than some other birds can.
  • Some vireos are in trouble. Their forest homes are being used by people, so they have no place to live.
