The document discusses birds that live in the Amazon Rainforest. Over 1,300 of the 3,800 total species found in the Amazon are birds. Common birds include toucans, macaws, parrots, hummingbirds, and harpy eagles. Most birds live in the canopy layer of the rainforest. Their diets vary depending on the type of bird and forest layer, but include leaves, fruits, nuts, and insects. The toucan's bill and parrot's beak have adapted to help them find and eat food, while the harpy eagle is one of the most powerful birds adapted to life in the rainforest.
