Where beak?
Right there.
🤷
Look at the second image, you can see the outline of the beak.
I see!
no I can't
It's right there, I don't understand how anyone could not see it.
I am well aware of that particular shadow. However this magnificent birb is filled with forms of shade like that see:
You can't actually reliably outrule the possibility that what you have drawn is just a shade and this birb's beak is actually tiny. Ofcourse I have googled the birb and have seen that infact what you have drawn is the most likely the beak, but that is another issue.

In Brazil
I believe you can just see the shadow of the beak on the right side of the crest. The crest splits and lays on both sides of the beak sometimes.

The front fell off

Its probably somewhere in brazil
Ofc it is hard to find it in the world if it's only in one country out of all countries
It's found in 5 other countries north of Brazil as well. It's probably hard to find in those other countries too though. Specially the Brazilian ones.
It's found in a Brazilian countries

Just pull down Dwayne Johnson's pants and you'll find one. 😏
Wait until you see the female version
Tap for spoiler
I appreciate when an animal looks like god was having a bad day. I too rush things and forget to complete projects.
We must bring back php forum signatures
It's a shame the fediverse doesn't have native support for them. They made web 1.0 forums fun in a way that 2.0 forums lacked.
I was tempted to add them to a custom fork of Voyager. But then figured people would just block me out of annoyance.

I'm looking at it and I still can't find it...
I see this thing plenty of times
It looks like a alien bird
biblically accurate bird
I was thinking the same thing ahahahaahaa
I feel like you could make a religion about this bird
That thing looks like a drawing from anartist with advanced dementia trying to do a face from memory.
How is something dressed like a road cone hard to find?
This is not a real bird, it's an Elden Ring boss from the cutting room floor
That's one of the daemons from hell boy.
Why is there a blank picture attached to this post?
User end.
/s
Idk, I see them everywhere at bars.
Sounds like a game of thrones character nickname.
That's Bruce Dickinson??
One of the brazilian most difficult to find birds doesn't seem very competitive.
To be fair, we are looking in the entire world for birds entirely located in Brazil. Task seems deliberately harder than it needs to be.
This thing looks like one of the illustrations in the book All Tomorrows
They’re so shy and so adorable. 
Weirdest mohawk ever! Like someone crossed a mohawk with a reverse mullet.
