bellbird
Bell-toned forest bird
Bellbird is any of several birds named for their clear, bell-like calls.
The term applies to different species across regions—honeyeaters in Australia and New Zealand, cotingas in Central and South America.
Their distinctive ringing songs carry long distances through forest: We heard the bellbird before we saw it.
