The forest is its abode, the forest is its home. It breeds especially there in Totonaca country [and] in Cuextlan; it raises its young in the trees. It merely builds a bag-like nest for its young [and] suspends them. The bill is long, concave, yellow, very yellow, colored yellow. For this reason it is called xochitenacal: about its throat [and] neck [the feathers] are very yellow, yellow, well textured, flower-yellow. And its head and its body are dark, dark green. And its wings and its tail are tawny and black mingled with white. The bill widens; it becomes concave; it becomes yellow; there are marks as of hawk scratches; [colors] are mingled.
