In Costa Rica, they call the bird a Rualdo, and legend has it that this bird used to have a beautiful singing voice, but gave it up as an offering to the volcano Poás to stop a young woman from being sacrificed, and to prevent the volcano from eruption.

This bird mainly feeds on fruits from trees, including figs and mistletoe berries.
