About These Birds

Brazilian Tinamou

A small rufous-brown tinamou with fine pale streaking on its breast. Endemic to the Amazon basin of Brazil and adjacent areas. Terrestrial and secretive. Its clear fluted whistle is often the only indication of its presence in dense rainforest undergrowth.

A large heavily built tinamou with dark olive-brown upperparts, pale underparts, and distinctive dark barring. Lives singly in dense Atlantic Forest, rarely seen despite its loud melancholic calls. Feeds on fallen fruit, seeds, and invertebrates. Threatened by deforestation across eastern Brazil.
