About

The three-wattled bellbird is a Central American migratory bird of the cotinga family. The sexes are very dissimilar in appearance. The male has a white head and throat and the remaining plumage is chestnut brown. From the base of his beak dangle three long, slender, black wattles that he uses in display. The female has olive plumage with yellowish streaked underparts and a yellow vent area.

Fun Fact

Male Three-wattled Bellbirds produce one of the loudest bird calls on Earth—over 125 decibels—from a single resonating chamber with no syrinx muscles at all.
