BLUE PLANTAIN-EATER . — Schizorhis gigantea. 
The Blue Plantain-eater whose colour may be known by its popular title, 
is generally to be found on the lofty trees that skirt the edges of streams, either 
perched demurely on the boughs, or flitting rapidly through them in search of 
the fruits and insects on which it feeds. 
It does not fly well, and seldom trusts itself to the air, except to pass from one 
tree to another. 
The voice of this and other Plantain-eaters is always of a loud character.
