TWEETY
I am sweet.
I live in a fantasy world.
My name in Portuguese, Piu-Piu, is a lot nicer than in English.
At times I am a little big-headed.
I leave home little, because of the autographs.
Woody Woodpecker envies me.
I am small and have a little sylvestrian look.
I am glad I am not on the menu of this exhibition’s vernissage.
Now, please, excuse me, because I tawt I taw a puddy tat…

TUCAN
A migratory bird.
Has a green bill and is good at yellow chitchat.
Adapted perfectly to the region of the Brazilian Central Plateau.
Seen around airports and also enjoys perching on tall trees.
It is one of the most eloquent birds in the region. Its vocalization gave rise to several onomatopoeic names, such as “chirp-shy”.
Before appearing in Brazil, was often seen in the area of Sorbonne.
Feeds periodically on goat tripe stew.

HUMMING BIRD
Found from Mexico to Bolivia, including Nilópolis.
Lives in wooded fields, by the forest and the Sambadrome.
Because of its prominent plumage, takes center stage wherever it is. Some are tireless singers.
At molting time, young males usually resemble females.
They can fly back and forth, sideways, up and down, and stop instantly in mid-air, just like a helicopter. In other words, a wonder.
Friends with the Ovenbird and João-Trinta.
