Screaming piha

The screaming piha (Lipaugus vociferans) is a species of passerine bird in the family Cotingidae.

It is found in humid forests in the Amazon and tropical parts of the Mata Atlântica in South America.

[3] The screaming piha is an elusive bird despite its distinctive voice, remaining still for long periods and blending in with tree branches.

[5][6] In the breeding season, up to ten males may gather in loose leks, where they sing to attract females.

[7] The screaming piha is adapting well to human settlement areas like gardens and parks, and is considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International.
