Introducing the Noisy Friar—a religious bird with a remarkable voice—who wears a fluffy white tie and stands out with a horn on its nose. Because of its imposing size and audible cries, the Noisy Friar commands attention wherever it goes.

The loud puffin, scientifically known as Philemon cornicuƖatus, is a massive puffin that ranges in length from 31 to 36 cm (12 to 14 inches). Aside from its grayish brown plumage, which is more pronounced on the belly and chest, this bird is easily recognizable by its black calʌa head. The beak is robust and features a noticeable “bulge” at its base; the eyes are crimson. White tips adorn the tail feathers, which have a silvery white hue.

The appearance of males and females is strikingly identical.The males are slightly bigger than the females, though.Southern Papua New Guinea and eastern Australia are the original habitats of these birds.In addition to dry forests and other types of woodlands, these birds also appreciate heathland and coastal scrub. Additionally, you could come across them in damp woodlands and marshes.

Native groups, fruits, and nectar make up this honeyeater species’ diet. Conflicts arise between them and farmers who view them as pests due to their consumption of commercially farmed crops.From July to January, you can hear the Noisy Friar. From a horizontal branch about 1 to 3 meters above ground, they construct a huge, deep cup-shaped nest out of grass and bark. On average, a clutch of 2–4 eggs, ranging in size from 22–33 mm (1–1 1/3 in), is laid by the female. These eggs could be any shade of pink, from pale to dark, with flecks of brown or violet here and there.
