More About Screamers ...
|
The Screamers are a small family of birds, the Anhimidae. They are related to the ducks geese and swans, which are in the family Anatidae, but have bills looking more like those of game birds.
The three species occur only in South America. They have downy head feathers, two sharp spurs on their wings, and feet which are only partially webbed. They live in marshes with some grass and feed on water plants.
