Guira guira is one of the most commom birds of Brazil. They can be found in open, scrubby areas, and are one of the species that actually benefits from deforestation.

They are related to the anis, and like them, give off a strong, pungent odor. They move around on the ground, feeding on frogs, small birds, and small mammals.

The Guira roosts and feeds in groups, where several females will lay eggs in the same communal nest. Though they live in groups, they have a tendency to form couples.

What an amazing looking bird! Looks like a cross between a phoenix and a mockingbird LOL!
