Two species of New Guinea birds have already been shown to have toxins on their feathers similar to those of poison dart frogs :)

So the poisonous birds are like posion arrow frogs, they get the poison from beetles they ingest?... meaning, in captivity when they don't get to eat the nasty beetles, they are no longer poisonous? neurotoxins in both, bird and frog cases? Z
