Hooded Pitohui

Varirata

This is one of the only known birds to be toxic. Its feathers contain one of the most potent toxins known to science but why?
Why the Hooded Pitohui ended up toxic is anyone’s guess..

Wow! I have never heard of this bird or the toxin! It is beautiful! Is it toxic just to the touch or if an animal would bite into it! Do you know?
