Seen on the "Life of Birds" video, but a quick google produced only 2 results:http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&xhr=t...353823e5e816d6

Can anyone shed any further light on these 'beauties'? Thanks

I assume you mean Capuchinbird?

Thanks xeno, that's the fella's - don't know why Attenborough called them Calf then?

just two different common names for the same bird that's all, both equally correct. The name calfbird derives from their call, sounding like distant cows mooing; the name capuchinbird comes from their bald face and brown "hood" of feathers, reminiscent of a capuchin monk

thanks Chlidonias, silly me, it seems I googled 'Calf bird' when I should have searched 'Calfbird' lol!

Fantastic bird species- one of my top wanted species.
