The bem-te-vi is the great kiskadee, Pitangus sulphuratus, a common yellow-breasted flycatcher found across Brazil and much of Latin America. Its Portuguese name comes directly from its call, which generations of listeners have heard as the phrase bem-te-vi, meaning I saw you well. The bird is a familiar sight in gardens, parks and streets, often singing loudly from rooftops and wires. Online, short recordings of its call circulate as a recognisable Brazilian nature sound, shared in memes, edits and soundboards alongside other animal calls and reaction clips.
