mound-bird
A mound-bird is a type of bird that incubates its eggs by building a large mound of organic material such as leaves, twigs, and soil, allowing the heat from the decomposition process to warm the eggs. Notable species include the malleefowl and the brush turkey. They are also known as megapodes, deriving from Greek megas meaning "large" and podos meaning "foot", referring to their strong legs and feet used in building the mounds.
