A mouthful and then some. . .

This is a great bird, from the turkey family. If you look closely enough, you can see perhaps part of a waddle on another bird that finds its way to Thanksgiving tables every year in the U.S.

When you hear it, it does warble like a turkey, though it is just a fraction of the size of the birds that we carve up every year.

This is the Montezume Oropendula, and they're a blast to see flitting from tree to tree and warbling like a turkey. Their tail feathers are a bright yellow and when they're flying away from you (which is most often the case) you can see the great colors.

Cute, but I don't see how you'd get much stuffing in this thing.
