As part of the Wildlife Conservation Society Birds of Brazil giveaway we asked readers of 10,000 Birds to name the bird in Brazil that they would like to see more than any other species. Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! My most-desired Brazilian bird?

Is a Coua a bird or a city in Brazil? Their stubby bills make them efficient at this, and unlike their insect hunting thornbill relatives, they are fairly sedentary hunters, content to take insects off leaves without chasing after them. Outside the breeding season they may tarvel in large flocks looking for outbreaks of these bugs.
