The royal flycatchers are a genus, Onychorhynchus, of passerine birds in the family Tityridae family according to the IOC.
The species was first described by Philip Ludwig Stacieus Muller in 1776. The bird received a scientific name coronatus for a bright red tuft, which in translation means coronated. With the exception of the tuft, the rest of the bird looks like a flycatcher: the color is olive-gray, the beak is thin, the wings are pointed, the legs are short, the tail is of medium length. The bird’s diet includes various insects, mostly flying. The flycatchers lives in Central and South America.
The first scientific description of the species was made by the German zoologist Philip Ludwig Stacieus Muller in 1776. He gave the name of the name coronatus, which in Latin means coronated, comb, formed from the word corona - "crown". This bird got its name for a beautiful crest on its head. This distinctive feature of the bird is also emphasized by the Russian name.
A small bird with a body length of 15-17.5 cm. and body weight - 13-21 g. The beak is thin. The tail is commensurate with the length of the body. Paws are short. A distinctive feature of the crowned fly-eater is a bright red tuft on the head, by which this bird can be recognized. The color of the head, torso, wings and tail is olive-gray.
Usually the bird is silent. The cries of the bird can be referred to as "si-yuk" and "kir-lin"
Top right are the coat of arms of Surinam and a map of Brokopondo Reservoir region.
The Brokopondo Reservoir, officially named "Professor Doctor Ingenieur W. J. van Blommestein Meer", and also called the Brokopondostuwmeer, is a large reservoir in the South American country Suriname. It is named after the Surakarta-born Dutch hydrological engineer Willem Johan van Blommestein. With a surface area of approximately 1,560 km² (602 mi²), depending on the current water level, it is one of the largest reservoirs in the world, flooding nearly one percent of the country.
The coat of arms of Suriname was adopted on 25 November 1975. The motto reads Justitia - Pietas - Fides (“Justice - Piety - Fidelity”). It further consists of two natives who carry a shield. The left half of the shield symbolizes the past, as slaves were abducted via ship out of Africa. The right half, the side of the present, shows a Royal palm, also the symbol of a just person ("The just person should blossom like a palm"). The diamond in the middle is the stylized form of the heart, which is regarded as the organ of love. The points of the diamond show the four directions of the wind. Inside the diamond is a five-pointed star. This star symbolizes the five continents from which the inhabitants of Suriname migrated: Africa, America, Australia, Asia, and Europe.
Denomination in numerals is bottom right. In top left corner is foil with an Royal flycatcher.
