Capuchinbird
The capuchinbird or calfbird (''Perissocephalus tricolor'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is monotypic within the genus ''Perissocephalus''.〔〔del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors). (2004) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails''. Lynx Edicions. ISBN 84-87334-69-5〕 It is found in humid forests (up to but mostly below 600 m) in north-eastern South America, almost entirely north of the Amazon River and east of Rio Negro (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and The Guianas).
==Description ==
The capuchinbird is a thick-set bird with a relatively heavy bill; its plumage is overall rich brown, approaching orange on the belly and undertail coverts, and the remiges and short tail are black. The most distinctive feature is its bare, almost vulture-like head covered in dull blue skin. Juveniles resemble adults, with the exception of some downy feathers on the head. They gather in leks where they "sing". The "song" is very odd and difficult to describe accurately, although some have compared it to the distant sound of a chainsaw or (as indicated by its alternative name Calfbird) a cow mooing. They eat mainly fruits and insects.
