Umbrellabirds should definitely not work around machinery that can catch loose clothing. 😺

Umbrellabirds are related to Bellbirds and Cocks of the Rock and are in a family known as the Cotingidae, or Cotingas.
The Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) are the weirdest birds, from pompadour/mohawk to long fleshy neck-tie shaped wattle that converts to a feather duster on command.

Native to the Pacific coasts of Ecuador & Colombia, these extraordinary accessories are mostly found in males.

Condors, tanagers, antpittas, humming birds, the long-wattled umbrellabirds! A night jar! A MYSTERY OWL.

But also … pigeons.

I guess it was the familiarity that made me stop and take notice and really appreciate them.
