The screamer is a bird that is similar to a duck or swan that makes a loud echoing repetitive sound which is how they get their name. Other than their loud screaches these birds have a rather interesting-looking horn on their face.

There are three screamer species, the other two being the southern screamer and the northern screamer in the genus Chauna. They are related to the ducks, geese and swans, which are in the family Anatidae, but have bills looking more like those of game birds.
