The brown torcilla or stravolimis (Jynx's handshake) is a species of bird from the woodpecker family. It is one of the smallest birds in the family and is particularly known for its unusual behavior when threatened. The name 'strawneck' refers to its ability to turn its head at unusually large angles to confuse predators. Extra, can imitate the hissing of a snake, which is a truly unique defensive strategy.
