Spotted by Inkaterra Association biologist, Helmut Rengifo, the Collared Puffbird is a common sight across the Madre de Dios region, with it’s orange head and distinctive black collar.
But for the rest of the world, this bird has a wider familiarity, looking very similar to a character in the popular Angry Birds game. 
Thankfully, the real Collared Puffbird is slightly more peaceful than its namesake, often being labelled the “lazy bird” due to its habit of sitting and waiting for insects, rather than predating them.
It is not the only species that can be found at Inkaterra that has a more popular identity. The Spectacled Bears, some of which can be found at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel are the inspiration for one of the world’s most popular childhood characters – Paddington Bear. Paddington’s books have been translated across the globe, and a new feature film is due out at the end of the year.
