Pipreola is a genus of bird in the family Cotingidae. Together with Ampelioides tschudii, they are collectively known as fruiteaters.

Males of most species have black heads and/or reddish, orange or yellow to the throat, chest or belly.

gollark: The problems I think are problematic are mostly stuff like "intellectual property is somewhat weird and broken", "pricing of some goods (housing, mostly) is weird too", "education frequently doesn't work as well as it should", "there are big technology/surveillance monopolies which are not good", and "government decision-making is pretty poor".
gollark: Blame it for not redirecting to HTTPS like my *cool* website.
gollark: Well, they have short descriptions of many of the ideas on the website.
gollark: I have not actually read any of it. I just said it seemed interesting as an idea.
gollark: There's this interesting book (http://radicalmarkets.com/) - I haven't read it, but I have heard lots about it - apparently it has policy proposals for reworking markets to do some stuff more effectively, which is what I'm interested in.
