Motmot \Mot"mot\, n. [Cf. {Momot}.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any one of several species of long-tailed, passerine birds of
the genus {Momotus}, having a strong serrated beak. In most
of the species the two long middle tail feathers are
racket-shaped at the tip, when mature. The bird itself is
said by some writers to trim them into this shape. They feed
on insects, reptiles, and fruit, and are found from Mexico to
Brazil. The name is derived from its note. [Written also
{momot}.]
