Stuffed Speckled Chachalaca

Origin
This bird is native to South America, this particular one hailing from eastern Brazil. They are somewhat large, tree-dwelling birds, with spotted plumage on the lower neck and chest. Interestingly, the little amount of fossilized evidence indicates that this bird evolved not below the equator, but in North or Northern Central America.

This artifact inspired the film “The Three Caballeros” and one of its characters, the Aracuan bird.

Effects
This artifact, collected in 1910, emits large birdcalls when picked up and, when shaken, causes chaos in Rube Goldberg-esque sequences. The user's hair will turn a brilliant red for weeks afterwards, and the skin will become hot pink.
