birds that do not sing and dogs that do not bark

Do you know that there are birds that do not sing or chirp and dogs that do not bark? The Antpitta avis canis Ridgley is a bird looks like a stuffed duck on stilts and barks like a dog. These long legged, black and white birds were discovered in the Andes by Robert S. Ridgely, Director of the Center for Neotropical Ornithology at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in June 1998.

And the basenji, a smallish dog with a silky copper coat, does not bark but yoddle!
