Description
The bare-necked umbrellabird (Cephalopterus glabricollis) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in the Talamancan montane forests of Costa Rica and Panama. Umbrellabird populations moved from highlands to lowlands and vice versa, as was proposed by Stiles (1985, 1988), and supported previous observations that male umbrellabirds return to the same breeding area every year. Bare-necked umbrellabirds live only in forests and their diet consists mainly of fruits. This is the largest passerine in its range and among the largest members of the cotinga family, although the Amazonian umbrellabird is slightly larger. Males, at 41 cm (16 in) and 450 g (1 lb) are larger than females, at 36 cm (14 in) and 320 g (11.3 oz). Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Feeding Habits
Bare-necked Umbrellabird primarily enjoys a frugivorous diet but also consumes lizards, frogs, insects, and their larvae. This species exhibits specialized foraging techniques and has a preference for certain types of fruits, indicative of its unique dietary adaptations.
Habitat
Bare-necked Umbrellabird primarily inhabit dense, wet montane forests. These birds are found from the subcanopy to the upper understory, frequenting areas near fruiting trees and locations with a rich understory. They demonstrate a strong preference for primary forests, relying on these habitats throughout all seasons, though some individuals may also forage in second-growth woodlands. Geographically, their habitat spans across the high-altitude regions of Central America, where they depend on intact forest ecosystems.
