"Humoceros"

"The humoceros is an incredibly rare type of bird found flit around the plains of Africa and South American rainforests. They fly at incredible speeds, but are hindered by their poor eyesight. They use their sense of smell to find food, mainly feeding of the nectar of flowers, and must feed every hour, or they suffer from starvation. The males use their horns--not beaks, horns--to fight against other males for the right to meet with the female humoceros. Humoceros birds do not have a song or melody, but instead use a series of grunts, whines, and an odd "mmwonk" sound to communicate with other individuals of their species."
