Amazonian trogon

The Amazonian trogon (Trogon ramonianus), is a near passerine bird in the trogon family, Trogonidae. It is found in humid forests in the Amazon of South America. Until recently, the Amazonian trogon was considered a subspecies of the violaceous trogon (T. violaceous).

Behavior

It is a resident of moist tropical forests, where it nests in a wasp, ant or termite nest or a hole in a rotten tree, with a typical clutch of two or three white eggs.

Amazonian trogons feed on insects and small fruit, and their broad bills and weak legs reflect their diet and arboreal habits. Although their flight is fast, they are reluctant to fly any distance. They typically perch upright and motionless.

Description

Trogons have distinctive male and female plumages, with soft, often colourful, feathers. This relatively small species is about 23 centimetres (9.1 in) long and weighs 56 grams (2.0 oz).

gollark: Codecs are rather complex now, so containers generally support many different ones and codecs can go in different containers.
gollark: No.
gollark: Since nowadays codecs and containers are pretty orthogonal.
gollark: Remuxing is just putting the audio/video streams into a new container. Reëncoding is making new streams by decoding the original and encoding the pixels into new bee neuron data.
