The Bearded Bellbird is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The female Bearded Bellbird also is entirely silent. There was some calling throughout the time we were present, but individual males were by no means sedentary. When observations began we heard much calling from the tongues of hilly country on either side of the Karusu Creek where it emerges into the flat savanna country. More

Like other cotingas, the Bearded Bellbird has a broad hooked-tipped bill, rounded wings, strong legs and a striking appearance. The male is approx 28 cm 11 in long, and weighs 180 g (6½ oz). His plumage is white or greyish-white apart from the black wings and warm brown head. He sports a grotesque "beard" of un-feathered, black mossy wattles. The female is smaller, at approx. 27 cm (10½ in) and 130 g (4½ oz). More

The Bearded Bellbird (Procnias averano), is a passerine bird which breeds in tropical northern South America. It is found in northeast Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, northern Brazil and Trinidad. This cotinga is a localised and uncommon bird of moist forests in Venezuela, but is fairly common in Trinidad. The female builds a twig nest in tree; one mottled pale brown eggs is laid, and incubated entirely by the female, leaving the polygamous male free to spend much of his time advertising with his distinctive songs.
