      1. Reminds of when I was younger:

        "Hey lady, would like you like to dance the Chachalaca?"
        "Uhhhh......sure!"
        "Great, then I can sit there"

The speckled chachalaca is a species of bird in the family Cracidae. It is found in forests and woodlands in the western Amazon Basin. It has distinct white scaling/spotting on the lower neck and chest, but otherwise it resembles other chachalacas, it being vaguely pheasant-like, and with an overall brown plumage.
