About These Birds
Black-and-gold Cotinga
The Black-and-gold Cotinga is a rare cotinga of the cloud forests of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Males are strikingly patterned in glossy black and gold. Like other cotingids, it feeds on fruit in the forest canopy and males display at traditional leks.
Bearded Bellbird
The Bearded Bellbird is a robust cotinga found in forests from Trinidad and Venezuela south to northeastern Brazil. Males are mostly white with a brown head and extraordinary wattle-like black feathers hanging from the throat, and produce an extraordinarily loud, hammer-like call audible over long distances. Females are olive-green and streaked, feeding primarily on fruit in forest canopy.
