| This was the real home of the birds, and this plant forms the background whenever the hoatzin comes to mind. |
| A hoatzin which may have been crouched close to the slain bird would continue to preen its plumage without a glance downward. |
| As I have mentioned, the nest of the hoatzin was invariably built over the water, and we shall later discover the reason for this. |
| The other tribe is represented by that strange bird the hoatzin of the Amazon. |
| Still, zologically considered, the hoatzin is probably the most remarkable and interesting bird living on the earth today. |
| The hoatzin, included below in the Cuculiformes, is often given its own order, Opisthocomiformes. |
