The male Tunki has a striking orange fur.

They average about 32cm long and weigh about 265grams. Males have a striking orange fur, which is different from females with dark brown fur.

The male's cage is also larger. The bigger the bird and the brighter the color, the more advantageous it is for males to look for partners because they have to compete with many other males to gain the right to mate.

The male Tunki shows their charm with a dance and tries to show off his feathers and crests. Female birds perch on a nearby tree branch and observe.

Tunki birds mainly eat fruits and insects. Sometimes they hunt small frogs like reptiles and amphibians.
