Amazonian Motmot

Momotus momota

Least Concern

The Amazonian Motmot is a colorful forest bird of Amazon Basin and Guianan forests. It often sits quietly on shaded perches, then sallies for insects, small lizards, and fruit, using its long tail and steady posture as part of its distinctive motmot profile. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact forest, woodland, and nesting sites remain important locally.
