I just discovered this cool long-wattled bird and I just had to feature it! Its unusual just as its name.

🐦 The Umbrellabirds are found in rainforests of Central and South America.
🐦 These birds are notable for their unique, umbrella-like crest and for the pendant suspended from the throat, which is an inflatable wattle.

🐦 They spend most of their lives in the canopies of tall trees.
🐦 Although the Umbrellabird can fly short distances, their large size makes flying difficult and it tends to hop from branch to branch.

🐦 There are 3 species of Umbrellabirds: the Long-Wattled, the Amazonian, and the Bare-Necked.
Via Adela Espinosa, see the long-wattled umbrellabird in its natural habitat. At 44 seconds and again at 1:19, listen carefully, and you’ll hear the sound it makes. It’s like a ship horn or the sound the tripods make in War of the Worlds! 💙

I like that! A rich professor! I love the sound it makes for when I first saw the bird, I was not expecting that “ship horn” effect. And thank you for reading and supporting. 💙 May God continue to bless you.
