Amazon的一種有趣鳥類 Umbrella Bird - 生態環境討論

Any of three species of bird of tropical South and Central America, family
Cotingidae, order Passeriformes, about 45 cm/18 in long. The Amazonian
species Cephalopterus ornatus, the ornate umbrella bird, has an inflatable
wattle at the neck to amplify its humming call, and in display elevates a long
crest (12 cm/4 in) lying above the bill so that it rises umbrella-like above
the head. These features are less noticeable in the female, which is brownish,
while the male is blue-black.

In the long-wattled umbrella bird C. penduliger, the wattle is covered with
black feathers and may reach a length of 28 cm/11 in. The wattle of
C. glabricollis is short, bare, and red.
