smooth-billed ani

English to Spanish Science Zoology Ornithology (birds)
The Smooth-billed Ani (Crotophaga ani) is a large near passerine bird in the cuckoo family. It is a resident breeding species from southern Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, parts of Central America, south to western Ecuador, Brazil, and northern Argentina.

This ani is found in open and semi-open country and areas under cultivation. The nest, built communally by several pairs, is a deep cup lined with leaves and placed usually 2–6 m (6.6–20 ft) high in a tree. A number of females lay their chalky blue eggs in the nest and then share incubation and feeding.

I need the name in Spanish please.

This bird has many different names, almost one for each area it inhabits. The most suitable name depends on for whom the text is intended.

Another name I didn't have enough space to add is "garrapatero común".

Yet another name is "judío", although I can't vouch for the political correctness of this one...
