THE HORNERO:
is a remarkable singer. The song comes to courtship and relationship and is used to mark territory. Male and female
almost not be distinguished visually, they both look very similar.
done in the spring courtship that has a specific behavior in which the song stands out as a duo. The couple face flapping his wings, his head erect and chest out, when the singing starts, the wings are hanging down the neck is extended and the tail open. Faced then begins singing a duet. Singing a duet
is not unique to courtship, as well as sing to recognize when they are near the nest, to maintain the link or to report a return to mate during incubation that remained within him.
The bakers live in pairs, some even claim that marriages last for life, sharing the activities related to nest building, incubating eggs, food production and care of chicks.
Other individual song is the song perfectly alternating males when they fight over its territory. Her singing is then a contrapaso.Augurios and stories. The abundant presence
in vast areas of the country, the confidence with which approaches the man and his house - near which often nest - what is striking about his singing and his peculiar nest made strongly stimulated the popular imagination and become familiar figure in the inventory of traditional beliefs and stories.
their names and number are mostly linked to one of its most notable features: its nest of mud. According to native lore, the proper interpretation of the behavior of baker provides a series of omens. First place is good for man to nest near his home since this is a sign that this year will be yielding crops. As in question of predictions is not uncommon to confuse causes with effects, is easily passed to consider the bird - the principle mere announcement of something to come - is almost caused by the good luck, hoping their presence. If the baker nests on the house, the better, "at home with no baker nest by lightning." The explanation for this belief is not clear, perhaps be found in old traditions Guarani Thunder Birds, linked to weather, lightning and fire. You may have to do with its relationship with the rain and humidity, it needs to clay as raw material for nesting and flee drought demonstrating an association with rainfall. In connection with this, another signal is interpreted: if you sing it loud during a storm, is that the rain is to stop. Good omen is that the baker also insists on singing loudly on a roof: they announce that good times will come for the residents. In the field is often said that the baker is strictly the Sabbath. If it is working with building its nest on a Sunday is a justification: an approaching dry season that will run out the mud or heavy rains come impossible the task. Again
man appears as climate expert. Their cries of alarm are useful to the countryside. For some, specifically announcing the presence of snakes or other dangerous animals. Others consider it a good watchdog that warns about the appearance of unusual noises or movements and thus of possible unwanted visitors: thieves, or perhaps the arrival of the consignment at the time of the matreros. In the field of folk medicine, there has been the use of the "oven", once abandoned as a remedy for skin conditions. When you need to break a piece, wet it and apply on the affected part. For some indigenous chaquenses, the baker plays a considerable role in mythology.
myth says that in ancient times people had no fire and went up to heaven, once connected to the ground, so that the sun cociera food. But the sun was highly susceptible, not tolerate laughter in his presence. A day in the convoy was Tatsi, the baker, who was then a human appearance as the other animals present and was characterized by his ability to burst out laughing at anything. The situation is not favored. It occurs to cook food that you had, the sun sat on the pots and got heated by the backside. This was too much for Tatsi that despite the desperate efforts of his companions to contain it, ended up casting a uproarious laughter. Enraged, the sun threw fire on visitors and ended up burning the earth, wiping out most of its inhabitants. The survivors were transformed in animals. Baker
not always appears in a sympathetic attitude, for there was chaco chorote legendary baker who killed all the people who could sneak by the method of throwing off its heavy nest from a tall tree by breaking the head. In Guarani mythology
realize the origin of the baker and his life partner. Jahe was a boy who had been decayed by his father in the bush away from contact with others. Jahe day in pursuit of an elusive capybara, was a splash in the river and came to believe that it was the animal. But instead, he met a young woman who fled at the sight. Devastated by the beauty of girl daughter of a local chief, his helped by his father, who accompanied him to town to ask the girl as his wife. But there were other claimants and established a series of tests in which the winner would stay with the bride. Jahe succeeded in swimming, won the race. All were abandoned and left alone and Aguará Jahe (the fox). Encouraged by his father, the boy endured, the ninth day's opponent withdrew, defeated. To the astonishment of all, she was transformed into a bird and followed it and succeeding in their flight, "in the Guarani-minded poetic love over suffering. Since then the baker goes in pairs.
