The killer bird with ... a touch
With his own experience, the learned bird Jack Dumbacher first discovered the hooded pitohuis.
With his own experience, the learned bird Jack Dumbacher first discovered the hooded pitohuis.
Jack Dumbacher arrived in New Guinea in the early 90s to learn about the life of birds in the bird paradise here.
During one of the bird traps, he was scratched, bitten and injured by the birds Hooded Pitohuis .
"The wound is swollen, but I suspect there is nothing and just hold the wound in my mouth to stop it from bleeding," Dumbacher said.
His mouth began to itch, hot and even frostbite. This feeling lasts several hours.
Dumbacher has been poisoned by a poison called batrachotoxin . This toxin acts with nerve cells, causing muscle and brain cells to not produce ions. At low levels, this toxin causes nerves and muscles to not work, but at a high level, it can make us paralyzed, unable to breathe and can lead to death.
This bird eats a poisonous beetle. It has antitoxin, but this toxin spreads throughout the body, spreading both skin and hair. Just touch it and you may have been poisoned. So this is probably not the kind of bird you want to raise.
