Hoatzin

The hoatzin has a strange digestive track where they will use bacteria to decompose their food unlike other birds where they have an organ that will grind down their food. Another unique trait they have is seen in their diet; They will almost exclusively eat leaves unlike other birds that will have a mixed diet of small animals, insects and plants.
