Remember the guy above? I didn't know what he/she was called so I just called it a "mohawked, Amazon chicken". But thanks to the help of a kind reader I now know it is a Hoatzin. I wasn't close at all. Poo!
Here are a few of the other birds I saw whilst in the Amazon. Please help me identify them. I have written what I think their names are.
[Below] The Ugly Swamp Duckling.
[Below] Elephant Bird. This thing is enormous. And don't be eating if it's hungry - it's not shy. Driving into the pampas, our group stopped for lunch at a restaurant in a local town called Santa Rosa. This winged mammoth walked right in and started snapping at food... and people.
Thank you for all your help. :)
