I was gonna actually be productive today and work on one of my like 17 wips but now all my brain wants is do an unnecessary amount of research on birds because “what if there was a different bird that encapsulated Grian vibe better then a cockatiel?”

December 30, 2018 - Rufous-breasted Antthrush (Formicarius rufipectus)

These antthrushes are found in parts of Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Foraging alone or in pairs, they sometimes follow army ant swarms, but little else is known about their diet. They sing their whistled, two-part song from the forest floor. Their breeding habits are virtually unknown, though a bird was found in breeding condition during the month of June in Colombia.

Photo of the Day – The Rufous-breasted Antthrush (Formicarius rufipectus) is similar to other members of its genus by being a short-tailed, chunky, forest floor dwelling bird that walks like a chicken. It is usually found singly or in pairs throughout the forest, but can also be seen attending army ant swarms.
