Hooded pitohui
Otrov u kožiJede: Pomalo od svegaOtrovno na dodir ili za jelo, ne ugrizom ili ubodomThe hooded pitohui is a songbird with reddish-brown and black feathers that lives in the forests of New Guinea. It is one of the few birds known to be poisonous, and its toxins are held in its skin and feathers, so it is best left alone.1

Kako ga prepoznati
- Black upperwing, head, chin, throat, upper breast and tail1
- Rest of the plumage is reddish brown1
- Black bill and legs1
- Males and females look alike1
- Young birds look like adults, but their tail and wing feathers are tinged with brown1
Često se miješa s: Other pitohuis are also poisonous and share a similar plumage, which is an example of convergent evolution. The non-poisonous juvenile greater melampitta has plumage similar to the hooded pitohui, which is Batesian mimicry.1
Snaga otrova
Koža mu je otrovna. Opasno ga je dirati, lizati ili jesti.
Što radi njegov otrov ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš?
This bird is poisonous rather than venomous. Its skin, feathers and other tissues contain batrachotoxin compounds, including homobatrachotoxin, which is a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. In 1990, scientists preparing museum skins of this bird felt numbness and burning when handling them.1
Koliko je opasno za ljude?
Opasnost za ljude: BolnoMože jako boljeti, ali gotovo nikad nije ozbiljno.Local hunters know the bird is toxic and avoid it. Harm is most likely from handling the skin or feathers, since the toxins are concentrated there.1
Što radi kad se uplaši?
Its toxins are thought to deter predators and to help protect it from feather lice and ticks. Its bright, contrasting plumage may warn predators that it is distasteful.1
Ako ga je netko dotaknuo ili pojeo
- Ako ga je netko pojeo ili ima simptome nakon što ga je pojeo: odmah nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve ili centar za otrovanja.
Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći
Ostani na sigurnom
- Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
- Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
- Ako ga dotakneš ili pojedeš: ne trljaj oči ni usta, operi ruke i potraži liječničku pomoć.
Ne želi ti ništa loše. Njegov otrov služi samo tome da ga nitko ne pojede. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice
Batrachotoxins are among the most toxic compounds in nature by weight, about 250 times more toxic than strychnine.1
Some pitohui toxins were first found only in poison dart frogs of Central and South America.1
The birds' toxicity varies by location and by individual, and some birds have been collected with no detectable toxins.1
It lives in family groups and often joins and even leads mixed-species foraging flocks.1
The bird's song is a variable set of three to seven whistles, which can slur up or down.1
Razbijač mitova
Mit: The bird makes its own poison.
Istina: The bird does not make the toxin itself. It is thought to take the toxin from its diet, possibly from Choresine beetles that contain it.1
