Photo of a screaming piha, made by N. Takano (personal museum of natural history and of course his copyright as with other photographers). These birds make the sound that is typical of the rainforest in Suriname and they are constantly calling very loudly. And not without a reason. Males have their own small territory from which they sing to attract the females, eventually to mate. Several males near each other have a contest area that is called a lek. They are difficult to see, grey and sitting almost immobile most of the day, just calling. I read that they eat fruit and do not spend much time to gather it.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
