Description
Here's one of my latest birds, the Amazonian Umbrellabird. These birds get their name from their most impressive physical feature; their tall crest that stands up over its head like an umbrella. The bird also has a long wattle of feathers that hangs down from its throat to its belly much like the wild turkey. They eat fruit and berries, but will eat insects, spiders, and insect larvae when fruit is not available.
Amazonian umbrellabirds are known for their loud, carrying voice. Their song is preformed with a bowing display and a deep, hollow booming �ooooooooooo� similar to the sound of blowing across the top of a bottle. These birds are heard more often than they are seen.
Rendered in Poser7 with no postwork. Models: Umbrellabird (me/Songbird ReMix Amazon), branch (me/Perching Places), foliage (RDNA/Jungle Foliage) and background photo (me)
