What if I told you there was a bird that burped methane and digested food like a cow? Wind down with me as we learn about the Hoatzin. You can listen attentively, let your mind wander, or drift off to sleep while we reflect on the wonders of wildlife. We'll explore things like the Hoatzin's unique digestive system, bad manners, and special diet.

This show is for you and, in a very meaningful way, by you. I mean it. You request the animals, and I do my best to facilitate the best relaxation experience possible.
