Description wikipedia

Momotus is a small genus of the motmots, a family of near passerine birds found in forest and woodland of the Neotropics. They have a colourful plumage, which is green on the back becoming blue on the flight feathers and the long tails. The barbs near the ends of the two longest central tail feathers fall off, leaving a length of bare shaft so that tails appear racket-shaped. Momotus species, like other motmots, eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also take fruit. They nest in tunnels in banks, laying about four white eggs. The genus Momotus was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the Amazonian motmot (Momotus momota) as the type species.

tr wikipedia
Motmot, motmotgiller (Motmotidae) familyasından Momotus cinsinden Orta ve Güney Amerika'nın ormanlık kesimlerinde yaşayan uzun kuyruklu kuş türlerinin genel adı. Uzunlukları 17–50 cm, tüyleri genellikle kahverengimsi yeşil, başları ya da kanatları parlak mavi kırçıllıdır. Uçan böcekleri, dallardan topladıkları küçük hayvanları yiyerek beslenir, aşağı kıvrık gagalarıyla toprağı ya da kumları kazarak yuva hazırlarlar. Altı türünde kuyruğun ortasından çıkan iki telek öbürlerine göre daha uzundur. Bu teleklerin ekseni boyunca sıralanmış dallar çok kırılgan olduğundan, kuşun tüy temizliği yapması sırasında kopar ve dallanmış yapısını yalnız uç bölümünde koruyan telekler uzun saplı yelpazelere benzer.
