About These Birds
Blue-billed Curassow
Mutum-de-Albert (Crax alberti) — Mutum criticamente ameaçado endémico das florestas tropicais do noroeste da Colômbia. Macho negro com carúncula basal no bico; fêmea acastanhada barrada. Habita florestas densas de baixada. A intensa desflorestação e caça fez dele um dos cracídeos mais ameaçados do mundo, com menos de 2500 indivíduos.

A medium-sized cracid (~630 g) of family Cracidae, with a striking rufous head. Inhabits humid and deciduous forests, forest edges, and scrub in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Feeds on fruits and leaves in the forest understory and canopy. Vulnerable due to extensive deforestation in the Tumbesian region, one of the world's most threatened biodiversity hotspots.
