About These Birds
Amazonian Umbrellabird
The Amazonian Umbrellabird is a large cotinga weighing 477 g with an impressive 51.9 cm wingspan, distinguished by its black umbrella-like crest and long wattled throat pouch used in booming display calls. Males gather at leks to attract females in humid Amazonian forests.
Bay-vented Cotinga
The Bay-vented Cotinga is a near-threatened, little-known cotinga restricted to humid elfin forests on ridges in Ecuador and northern Peru. It is a plump bird with dark plumage and a distinctive rufous-chestnut vent. It feeds on fruit in the high-altitude forest canopy, and its rarity and restricted range make it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
