Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus)

Also known as: Benteveo común, pitogüe and bem te vi

They're so colorful and noisy! Their name in Brazil is bem-te-vi which means I see you and is (like its English name) an onomatopoeia!

i know these are in the us, but it's only what? the south of texas? their range extends through most of the americas, i think they count!

hes so big and i like his colourshes so big and i like his colour

I'm paraguayan, we call this bird pitogüe (onomatopeia of their song/noise) and it is say when you hear their song somebody close to you (or even yourself) is expecting a baby, like this is the gossip bird! if a group of people hear the bird call we start pointing fingers. If it is close to your home/street you can be sure somebody is pregnant. very funny bird.

They are so loud.

My favourite backyard bird!! They have such a recognizable call and I never get tired of hearing it. The feathers on its belly are just such a beautiful and bright yellow that I can't help staring at these birds whenever I spot them outside. Plus, if you're lucky and see two of them getting into a fight you get to see their beautiful and equally bright yellow crests!

Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin)

It’s one of my favorite birds. Unique evolutionary lineage, digests leaves like a ruminant, has wing claws as juveniles. And I recently got to see one when on vacation!
