Come to think of it, the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird is almost the same size as a crow. Since it's black, it is also the same color as a crow. That's where their similarities end because they're so much different from each other. The Long-Wattled Umbrellabird, as a whole, doesn't look like an umbrella. Only its wattle part can be compared to a long folded umbrella - although it looks more like a long pine cone when inflated. The wattle can inflate and deflate. The wattle is the folded skin hanging from the neck of the bird. Compared to the typical birds that you see in your garden, Long-Wattled Umbrellabirds are big. They can measure about 20 inches in length, so that's about the size of a human baby. Excited to learn more about the Long-Wattled Umbrellabird?
