Cotingas
The cotingas are a large family of passerine bird species found in tropical South America.
They are birds of forests or forest edges, which mostly eat fruit or insects and fruit. Comparatively little is known about this diverse group, although all have broad bills with hooked tips, rounded wings, and strong legs.
The males of many species, such as the cock-of-the rocks, are brightly coloured, or decorated with plumes or wattles, like the umbrellabirds, with their umbrella-like crest and long throat wattles. Some, like the bellbirds, have distinctive and far-carrying calls. The females of most species are duller than the males.
The cock-of-the-rocks are more terrestrial than other species, and have an elaborate group mating display.
