This rare and beautiful bird is a native of Peru 
and Surinam, and is remarkable for the singular 
conformation of its crest and tail-coverts. It is ge¬ 
nerally seen in the neighbourhood of rocks and ca¬ 
verns, and is about the size of a small pigeon. The 
female differs from the male in being entirely of a 
brown colour.
