Emerald Breasted Hoot Traditional Cache

Native to Czechoslovakia this bird originally hitchhiked to America on Czech pirate ships. During the great prune and bean prohibition days the Czechs would smuggle prunes and beans to the US. The hoots would stowaway and feed upon the stocks of beans and prunes – hence the origin of the name. The coloring is probably also a result of the same.
Most people tend to avoid contact with the hoots and hunting and eating them is beyond comprehension.
