The Galápagos Mockingbird (Nesomimus parvulus, a bird in the Mimidae family) is seen on Isla Genovesa (or Tower Island), Ecuador, South America. The Galápagos Mockingbird is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is omnivorous and preys on small lava lizards, insects, centipedes, carrion, seabird eggs, and young finches. The Galápagos Mockingbird probably evolved from the Ecuadorian Long-tailed Mockingbird.
