Salvin's Curassow, A species of Crestless Curassows
Botanical name: Mitu salvini
Genus: Crestless Curassows

Description

Salvin's curassow (Mitu salvini) is a species of bird in the family Cracidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. A prized game bird, the Salvin's curassow is declining throughout the human-inhabited areas of its range, which also includes Colombia and eastern Ecuador. But the turkey-size bird seems to be doing well in areas without hunting pressures.

Feeding Habits
Salvin's Curassow's diet primarily consists of fruits (70%), seeds (10%), and a mix of flowers, leaves, and animal matter (20%). Young may consume more invertebrates and vertebrates. Salvin's Curassow forages on the ground, often in family groups, ingesting a variety of foods, including over 123 plant species, and uses grit for digestion. Notably, salvin's Curassow acts more as a seed-predator than disperser.
Habitat
The salvin's Curassow typically resides in humid terra firme forests that are situated on plateaux and ridges, as well as in areas of riparian successional vegetation. It favors primary forests with level or gentle undulation in the topography. This bird species is also found in seasonally flooded várzea forests, which serve as nesting grounds in certain regions. There are observed seasonal movements tied to fruit availability, with a preference for várzea during specific months and terra firme forests in other parts of the wet season.
