Amazonian wattled curassow portrait

Best details viewed on big screen.

 

These curious birds with their dark, curled head plumage and contrasting brightly coloured beaks are now sadly endangered in their natural habitat.

 

Endemic to the seasonally-flooded forests of the western Amazon basin in South America.

 

Major threats are loss of habitat and hunting.

 

This beauty is a female.
