What's your bestest BIRD?

My favourite Dutch animal word is KAKKERLAK.

Though interestingly you don't see so many here - because they clean their hospitals...

Grebes do actually have a mating call. They however have a mating dance

I take it you meant to say "don't"?

I meant a dance anyway.

The Buff-Winged Starfrontlet.

This was a regular visitor to the log cabin where I lived, in Ecuador. If you were very still, you could get them to sit on your finger, whilst they drink.

For sheer entertainment value it's hard to beat another of Ecuador's resident birds, the Hoatzin:

Its young can swim underwater and can climb trees with the claws on their wings. Its constant diet of leaves makes it stomach swell up to such a degree it can barely fly more than 100 metres at a time without crashing (it isn't very good at landing...)

Plus its call sounds like a heavy smoker wheezing, and it smells of cow shit.

But it does have a natty mohican...

How on earth did I miss that gem!? A return trip is in the offing, so.....the Hoatzin is a must see!

Yer, I was wondering the same thing when I saw the 'R.I.P' bit.

Fave bird is the Toucan, it's the Einstein of the bird world, and because it can actually explain why E=MC2.
