This bird is so unusual that its broad bill has puzzled scientists for generations.
The Wattled Ploughbill is a rare songbird found only in the mountain forests of New Guinea. Its thick, plough-shaped bill and bright facial wattles make it unlike almost any other bird. Living high in the forest canopy, it feeds on insects, spiders, and small fruits while moving quietly through the treetops, where it is more often heard than seen.
A remarkable forest specialist, proving that some of nature’s most extraordinary designs exist far from the world’s busiest places.
