(PL Sclater, 1853)

The central crown is black and surrounded by a blue band. There is a black eyemask. The call is a low owl-like ooo-doot.

These birds often sit still, and in their dense forest habitat can be difficult to see, despite their size. They eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also regularly take fruit.

Like most of the Coraciiformes, motmots nest in tunnels in banks, laying about three or four white eggs.

gollark: This is annoying, apparently 6GB of VRAM isn't enough to finetune the 125M GPT-Neo even with a batch size of 1. I might just use Colab.
gollark: Geese are fearsome beings.
gollark: It would take ages to download so I'd prefer not to if it probably won't work.
gollark: Speaking of somewhat underpowered hardware, can I use the 2.7B GPT-Neo model on my RTX 2060 (6GB VRAM) in half precision? Multiplication leads me to think it's possible just considering the parameters, but some internet things imply it won't work presumably because of storing other stuff.
