Google knows everything.

I do. What do you want to know?
This is the one that forms an unbrella shape with its wings while standing in shallow water in full sun? small fish and invertebrates take shelter in the shade and are eaten by the bird.
No, you are thinking of a kind of heron. There are 3 species of Umbrellabirds in Central and South America, so-called from the umbrella-like crest of the male.
There is also a type of Cockatoo known as the Umbrella Cockatoo. Not sure if that is what you are looking for.
Sounds like the kind of bird that shows up in homework assignments from time to time…
That got me cackling at work like someone who might get fired at any moment. Thanks.
There’s also the Indonesian umbrella cockatoo, Cacatua alba. Which bird are you asking about BIGRC?
Merged the duplicate thread into this one.

That’d be a perfect match with these.
I was expecting something more like this.
Here is a picture of the Balck Heron fishing umbrella-style.
Damn. That should be Black Heron.
One of my very favoritest birds ever ever ever. I could watch footage of one of these guys in action for HOURS.
I actually have seen an Umbrellabird once, but it wasn’t carrying an umbrella. (It was a young male that hadn’t yet grown a crest).
Appropriately enough, Umbrellabirds live in some of the rainiest places in the world. The one in Panama lives in places that get about 15 feet of rain a year.
Well, we’ve discovered where Little Richard got the idea for his hairstyle.
