TRUMPETER

The Trumpeters (Psophia) are a family of South American birds related to the seriema, the cranes and the rails. They are so named from their loud trumpet-like cry. The body is about the size of a fowl's, but the legs are long and crane-like, and the beak short. They nest on the ground and feed on insects, seeds and fruits.
