Pipra is a genus of birds in the family Pipridae, also known as manakins.

There are about 14 species of Pipra, each with distinctive plumage and behavior.

Some of the most well-known species are the white-crowned manakin, the golden-headed manakin, and the wire-tailed manakin.

Pipra manakins are famous for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve vocalizations, acrobatic movements, and lekking.

Lekking is a behavior where males gather in a specific area and compete for the attention of females by displaying their feathers, dancing, and making sounds.

Some Pipra species, such as the golden-headed manakin, also cooperate with other males to perform synchronized dances.

Pipra manakins are important seed dispersers in their habitats, as they consume a large variety of fruits and drop the seeds in different locations.

They also help maintain the diversity and structure of the forest by creating gaps in the canopy where they perform their displays.

Pipra manakins are threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation due to human activities such as logging, agriculture, and mining.

Conservation efforts are needed to protect these beautiful and fascinating birds and their ecosystems.
