The Northern Screamer is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.
In contrast, the Northern Screamer is relatively rare and consequently considered near threatened. They are seldom hunted, in spite of their conspicuous nature, because their flesh has a spongy texture and is riddled with air-sacs, making it highly unpalatable. The main threats are habitat destruction and increased intensification of agriculture. More
In spite of being large birds, Northern Screamers can fly very well, they are also very good swimmers and can walk on aquatic vegetation. Like all screamers, their feet are only partially webbed. They form long-life couples. The above picture was taken in July 2006. More
