The 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

Kuasa racun

Racun di kulitnya

Kulitnya beracun. Ia berbahaya untuk disentuh, dijilat atau dimakan.

Apa kesan racunnya?

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

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: MenyakitkanIa boleh jadi sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.

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

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

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

berguna untuk diketahui

Fakta

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

Pemecah mitos

Mitos: The bird makes its own poison.

Hakikat: 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
