My Favorite Amazonian Bird!

This was my favorite bird to listen to in Peru. You'll understand when you hear it, at least I hope.

The ones we saw were yellow though I think... But they literally make the sound of water dripping! They're called oropendolas apparently. I'm really excited that I found a clip for you guys, I really miss hearing this every day. Especially now that birds are coming back north because they think winter's over (yeah I thought so too guys..) and I'm realizing how boring birds are here. Who knew that was something I'd ever notice?




those dangly lookin things are their nests. and I guess we didn't get any pictures of the actual birds, but obviously you can see them in the video.
