General Info

Feeding Habits

Bird food type

Behavior

Like other tinamous, the small-billed eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes. They also eat small amounts of invertebrates, flower buds, tender leaves, seeds, and roots. The male incubates the eggs which may come from as many as 4 different females, and then will raise them until they are ready to be on their own, usually 2–3 weeks. The nest is located on the ground in dense brush or between raised root buttresses.

Species Status

The IUCN classifies this tinamou as Least Concern, with an occurrence range of 6,700,000 km (2,600,000 sq mi).
