Long wattled umbrella bird
The Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) is a remarkable bird native to the rainforests of western Colombia and Ecuador. Males are particularly distinctive with their impressive, umbrella-like crest and a long, pendulous wattle covered in short feathers hanging from their throat. This wattle can be inflated during courtship displays to attract females. The bird's plumage is predominantly black, adding to its striking appearance.
