agami

[prettygoodword]

agami (AY-gah-mee) - n., the grey-winged trumpeter (Psophia crepitans), a crane-like bird of northern S. America.


Is often kept with livestock as a partially domesticated bird because of its loud cry of alarm -- thus its name -- which warns against predators.


Thanks, WikiMedia!

There are also pale-winged and dark-winged trumpeters. The name comes from French, from the Carib name for it.
