White-Bellied Go-Away-Bird *
I can answer that question.
The White-Bellied Go-Away-Bird gets its name from the distinctive call it uses when it feels threatened — g’way, g’way!
Go-Away-Birds are semi-zygodactylous. Didn’t know that, did you?
Let me explain. Zygodactyly is an arrangement of digits in birds with two toes facing forward and two back.
Go-Away-Birds are semi-zygodactylous, meaning their fourth (outer) toe can be switched back and forth.
The bill is black in the male, pea-green in the female. They often have prominent crests and long tails.
The White-Bellied Go-Away Bird feeds on fruits, flowers, nectar, leaves and seed pods. It’s considered a pest in some regions, raiding orchards and plantations of fruiting trees and vegetable crops.

Now, who wouldn’t be at least a little bit curious about a bird whose official name is Go-Away?
