The Cuban Tody is perhaps the most colorful Tody. Like many island birds, its wings have become less capable of flight. It has rounded wings that only let it fly short distances.

The Cuban Tody mostly eats insects and nests in holes that it has dug into clay banks. Occaisionally it will nest in other cavities.
