tody

/ˈtəʊdi

noun (plural todies)

A small insectivorous Caribbean bird related to the motmots, with a large head, long bill, bright green upper parts, and a red throat.

Family Todidae and genus Todus: five species.

Like motmots and todies, kingfishers often have brilliant plumage, are largely insectivorous, and nest in cavities that are often excavated in earthen banks....

Oligocene fossils of todies and motmots from Wyoming and France, for example, indicate that the current ranges of these two groups are relictual.
When compared with the BMR of other very small birds, the tody's energetic demands appear unremarkable.

Origin

Late 18th century: from French todier, from Latin todus, the name of a small bird.
