About

The Puerto Rican tody (Todus mexicanus), locally known in Spanish as San Pedrito ("little Saint Peter"), is a bird endemic to the main island of Puerto Rico. In 2022, the tody was approved as the official national bird of Puerto Rico by the legislative assembly. However, the proposal did not advance, largely due to the scientific name of the bird which erroneously identifies it as a native of Mexico.
