About These Birds

Apolo Cotinga

The Apolo Cotinga is an endangered passerine from Bolivia's Apolo region, weighing about 46 grams with a wingspan near 19 cm. It inhabits humid montane forests in a very restricted area of the Bolivian Andes. This rare cotinga remains poorly known due to its remote habitat and small population size.

Weighing about 171.5g with a wingspan of 29.7cm, the male is pure white with a distinctive bare turquoise throat adorned with filamentous wattles. Its extraordinarily loud call is among the loudest of any bird.
