About These Birds

Colombian Chachalaca

A medium-sized cracid (~487 g) of family Cracidae, endemic to the Cauca and Magdalena river valleys of Colombia. Inhabits dry forest edges, gallery woodlands, and scrubby vegetation at low to mid elevations. Forages in social groups for fruits, seeds, and leaves.

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.
