There are three birds that are considered poisonous. The Hooded Pitohui, aka, The Garbage Bird, it is "Pitohui dichrous", the Ifrita, it is "Ifrita kowaldi", and The Little Shrike-thrush, it is "Colluricincla megarhyncha". There is a toxin that is stored in their feathers and skin, probably from something they eat, it's suggested a beetle. I don't know if one is more poisonous than the other or not. For more details see sites listed below.

Monarchs and viceroys belong to the same?
The same family (Nymphalidae, which contains most black and reddish butterflies). There they split; they belong to different geni (monarch: Danaus, viceroy: Limenitis). Thereby they are also different species, of course. They grew to look like eachother because both are poisonous, and they can maximize that profit by looking alike - if a bird eats either of them, it will avoid the other from then on, too.
