They are known for their large, elaborate crests, which resemble umbrellas. Male Umbrellabirds use their crests to attract females and to defend their territories.
Umbrellabirds are relatively large birds, with males measuring up to 50 cm (20 in) in length, including their crests. Females are smaller, measuring up to 40 cm (16 in) in length. Umbrellabirds have black plumage with a blueish sheen. Males have black crests with a white or yellow border. Females have smaller, less elaborate crests.
Umbrellabirds are omnivores, and their diet consists of fruits, insects, and small animals. They are solitary birds, and they only come together to mate. Umbrellabirds build cup-shaped nests in trees. The female lays two eggs, which she incubates for about 21 days. The chicks fledge from the nest after about 30 days.
