Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Large gray-brown bird with a pointed crest on its head and massive orange legs and feet. Resident on the floors of tropical rainforests. This species builds very large nest mounds (so large they almost look like earthworks). Also found in cosmopolitan parks and gardens. Note loud crowing call.
