MORAJÚ Molothrus bonariensis, is the Argentine name of the blackbird or thle. Passerine bird of the family of the jaichthyrids that inhabits America, spreading throughout almost all of South America, except in the dense jungles, in the mountains, in Trinidad and Tobago, places that it still fails to colonize. It is very popular in Chile in the mid-nineteenth century apparently, coming from the central area of Argentina. It has been colonizing many Caribbean islands, reaching the United States where it is usually found in south Florida. The populations that inhabit more southern and northern areas are partially migratory. Because of its black color it is also called a black eddy erd.
