Hooded pitohui
Strup v kožiJe: Malo vsegaStrupena za dotik ali zaužitje, ne ob ugrizu ali pikuThe 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 jo prepoznaš
- 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
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: 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
Moč strupa
Njena koža je strupena. Nevarno se je je dotakniti, jo polizati ali pojesti.
Kaj naredi njen strup, če se je dotakneš ali jo poješ?
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
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.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
Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?
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
Če se je je kdo dotaknil ali jo pojedel
- Če jo je kdo pojedel ali ima po zaužitju simptome: takoj pokliči številko za klic v sili ali center za zastrupitve.
Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči
Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če si se je dotaknil ali jo pojedel: ne drgni si oči ali ust, umij si roke in poišči zdravniško pomoč.
Ne preži nate. Njen strup je tam samo zato, da je nihče ne poje. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
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
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: The bird makes its own poison.
Resnica: 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
