Uburozi mu ruhu rwayoIrya: Bike muri buri kimweIfite uburozi, ntifite ubumaraThe 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

Uko wayimenya
- Black upperwing, head, chin, throat, upper breast and tail1

Uburozi bwayo bukora iki?
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

Ibintu by'ukuri
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
Usenya ibinyoma
Ikinyoma: The bird makes its own poison.
Ukuri: 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
