I'm not a big birder, and did this from memory, so I may have gotten some of these wrong, but maybe some of you more serious twitchers out there can correct me as I try to identify the birds in this painting, starting from top left, and going clockwise. The first, with its bold reds an blues is a Panamexican Red Parrotbird, I believe, with a coffee berry in its beak. Next, with its back to us is a Ecuaruvian Multi-colored Mott Mott, identified by the paddles at the end of the tail feathers, and then a Brazilumbrian Night Hawk. I have no idea what the next two are, but they seem to enjoy the company. At the bottom center is the Patahuvian Cardinalbird, also enjoying the coffee. In the lower left corner is the tiny Belizimalan Black-winged Hummingbird. I'm not sure what the last bird is doing up in a tree, but I believe it must be some sort of quail. Your guess is as good as mine.

I don't know what all of these birds are doing together in the same tree, but they seem to be going after the red coffee berries and what I can only assume is some sort of Breadfruit in the center. Very Strange.
