Scarlet ibises are vivid red wading birds native to South America and the Caribbean. They inhabit wetlands, feeding mainly on crustaceans, which give them their striking color (crustaceans like shrimp and crabs contain the carotenoid astaxanthin responsible for the color). Known for their long, curved bills and social behavior, scarlet ibises often nest in large colonies near water.

The Red-fan Parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus) puts its signature plumage to use in a few ways. When threatened, it’ll fan out its vibrant neck feathers to intimidate a foe by making itself seem larger in size. Feathers are also used in courtship rituals, when they’re raised up as come-hither collars by males and females in a display as a pair will sway their heads from side to side. Spot this bird in tropical forests throughout parts of South America, including Colombia and Peru.
