Feeding Habits
Black Guan primarily feeds on fruits, including those from guarumo trees, and will also consume leaves, particularly from Asteraceae species. Its feeding behavior typically involves foraging in the trees.
Habitat
Black Guan primarily inhabits the lush mountain cloudforests that span across broad geographical regions, favoring steep, rugged landscapes with ridges and ravines. This species is well adapted to upper tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones and typically resides at elevations ranging from 1000 to 3100 meters, though it is occasionally found lower, nearer to the tree-line. While predominantly associated with dense forest canopies, black Guan may venture into more open areas, always staying within environments that provide its specialized ecological requirements.
