Feeding Habits
Chestnut-bellied Guan primarily feeds on flowers, such as Tabebuia and Vismia species, figs from Ficus trees, young liana leaves, and fresh grass, especially important during the dry season. Chestnut-bellied Guan forages both on the ground for invertebrates and in the tree canopy, occasionally associating with other bird species like Ortalis canicollis during feeding.
Habitat
The chestnut-bellied Guan's habitat comprises mainly swampy woods with deciduous trees, savannas within lowland terrains, and semi-deciduous gallery forests. These birds seek out densely wooded areas rich in woody vines, especially along rivers or swamps, as well as mixed environments blending forest patches with savannas or grasslands. They thrive in habitats with abundant leaf-litter, particularly in regions featuring specific flora like Myrciaria sp. and members of the Fabaceae family.
