About These Birds
Black Bushbird
The Black Bushbird is a rarely seen, velvet-black antbird of dense bamboo thickets and forest undergrowth in the western Amazon Basin of Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia. The male is entirely black while the female has rufous underparts. Its cryptic habits and dense habitat make it difficult to observe; it forages close to the ground, feeding on insects and other invertebrates.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
