Description
The sickle-winged guan (Chamaepetes goudotii) is a species of bird in the family Cracidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. In Ecuador, it is noted that the guans from the Eastern slope, at 61–63.5 cm (24–25 in), were much larger than birds from the Western Andean slope, at 51–54.5 cm (20–22 in). 
Size
65 cm
Feeding Habits
Sickle-winged Guan primarily consumes fruits (84.5%), with a preference for those 1–10 mm in size, and supplements its diet with flowers (3.9%), leaves (5.8%), and invertebrates (5.8%). It forages mainly in trees, rather than on the ground, at dawn and dusk in pairs or small groups.
Habitat
Sickle-winged Guan primarily inhabits humid and wet forests, as well as the borders of these forests in subtropical zones and, to a lesser extent, lower temperate zones along the Andes. These environments are typically characterized by very high precipitation, and sickle-winged Guan is often found in areas with steep hills and challenging access. While preferring tall forest regions, sickle-winged Guan can also occasionally be found in secondary growth and more open woodlands, including agrarian landscapes like coffee plantations.
