Amazonas06 - 256 * Hoatzins are gregarious and nest in small colonies, laying 2-3 eggs in a stick nest in a tree overhanging water in seasonally flooded forests. The chick, which is fed on regurgitated cud, has another odd feature; it has two claws on each wing. When disturbed, the chicks drop into the water to escape predation, then they use their clawed wings to climb back to the safety of the nest. This has inevitably led to comparisons to the fossil Archaeopteryx. (Wikipedia)
