| The most unusual plumage and wing modifications among the 40 or so species of manakins belong to the club-winged manakin, Bostwick told the group. |
| The film captures monkeys in the Nariva wetlands, golden tree frogs housed in bromeliad plants and blue-backed manakins in Tobago. |
| An interesting analogy may occur in some manakins in which males are smaller than females. |
| But rather than hovering for a drink, manakins generate finger-snap clicks to entice females. |
| The manakins vibrate their wings at more than 100 cycles per second, twice the speed of hummingbirds. |
| Males of over half of the species of manakins produce startling sounds with their wings during courtship displays. |
