	Curassows and guans
		The guans, curassows, and chachalacas (together known as cracids) are an ancient family whose closest relatives may be the megapodes of Australasia.
		The guans seem to me to be much more arboreal than curassows, and most of those I've seen have been up in trees (often a fruiting tree).
		The White-winged Guan Penelope albipennis of arid scrub in northwestern Peru was thought to be extinct until rediscovered in 1977.

	Guan - LoveToKnow 1911
		GUAN, a word apparently first introduced into the ornitho logist's vocabulary about 1743 by Edwards,' who said that a bird he figured (Nat.
		Uncommon Birds, pl. xiii.) was "so called in the West Indies," and the name has hence been generally applied to all the members of the subfamily Penelopinae, which are distinguished from the kindred subfamily Cracinae or curassows by the broad postacetabular area of the pelvis as pointed out by Huxley (Proc.
		Into their minute differences it would be useless to enter: nearly all have the throat bare of feathers, and from that of many of them hangs a wattle; but one form, Chamaepetes, has neither of these features, and Stegnolaema, though wattled, has the throat clothed.

	3.6 Cracids
		Habitat: All guans are strictly forest-dwellers, preferring wet, high, primary forest from the tropical belt to the Andean forests (18, 70, 215, 232, 383).
		Abundance: Guan are apparently fairly abundant in undisturbed habitats, to judge from the hunting records and literature (153, 336, 383, 519), but scarce in environmentally modified areas where they are under steady hunting pressure.
		Reproduction: Guan are monogamous and territorial, mating at the onset of the rainy season, usually March-July north of the equator.

	Crested Guan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		rimarily tree-living birds, crested guans forage in small groups up in the treetops, walking slowly along the branches and leaping across gaps.
		While in flight, the bird begins to beat its wings at twice the normal speed, producing a whirring sound that is maintained for several seconds.
		The usual clutch is 2 or 3 eggs, and the female guan does most of the incubation.

	Center for Conservation of the Horned Guan (Pavon) in Mexico :: Saint Louis Zoo
		A pair of Horned Guans is now on exhibit at the Saint Louis Zoo - the only United States zoo ever to exhibit this highly endangered species.
		In 2002 Karen DeMatteo attended the Horned Guan PGAV in Guatemala to present her paper on assisted reproduction techniques in guans.
		The role the guan plays in the regeneration of montane forests is of paramount importance, but the complex dynamics of seed dispersal and predation are little understood.

	The Craciformes
		The two families are the Cracidae (Guans, Curassows and Chachalacas) and the Megapodidae (Brush Turkeys and Malleefowl).
		The Guans - 1700 g (60 oz) - are intermediate and the Curassows are the largest at an average of 4700 g or 10 lbs..
		Notably decorated are the Horned Guan, Oreophasis derbianus, which has a reddish horn projecting up from its head, and the Razor-billed Curassow, Mitu mitu, which has a huge hornbill-like, red upper mandible to its bill.

		In the male this passes down the outside of the pectoral muscles, beneath the skin, to within one inch of the end of the sternum; it then doubles on itself and passes up, still on the right side of the keel, to descend within the thorax in the usual manner.
		Similar to the Guans are the Penelopes (Penelope), but distinguished among other things by having the chin and throat usually naked and provided with a central wattle, and a large, naked space around the eye.
		Their habits are similar to those of the other members of the group.

	CNN.com - Nature - Bird project soars at St. Louis Zoo - November 22, 2000
		Relying on impregnation techniques commonly used in the domestic poultry industry, Macek and colleagues hatched two common piping guans, the first members of the cracid family to be bred through artificial insemination.
		Although the zoo project involves common piping guans, which are not at risk, it could serve as a model for future artificial insemination projects for the birds' endangered cousins.
		The zoo plans to establish a supply of frozen guan semen, which would enable scientists to exchange artificial insemination techniques to zoos in Central or South American countries where there is better access to endangered cracid species.

	Long Time Coming, Long Time Guan
		The guan is a secretive and cryptic species, and is usually seen only in fleeting glimpses.
		However, we were blessed with what Victor Emanuel called "the best trip ever for guans." Guans appeared during our initial hike into camp, and for the next three days we experienced the entire array of guan behavior.
		The guan is a perfect metaphor for the cloud forest itself, a species that cannot be teased from the orchids, bromeliads, and ever-present mist that characterize this delicate habitat.

	El Triunfo, March, 2005 - birding tours, birding cruises - Victor Emanuel Nature Tours
		Unlike any other member of the family Cracidae in appearance and behavior, the Horned Guan is restricted to isolated cloud forests in southwestern Chiapas and adjacent Guatemala.
		In addition to breaking records for Horned Guan sightings, we also recorded a record high number of species for the tour, thanks to an exceptionally skilled and diligent group of participants.
		New species added to the tour include Spotted Rail (no kidding--in a roadside pond on the way to Jaltenango), Dickcissel (no doubt on their way home from Argentina to Nebraska), and a fly-over of the El Triunfo clearing by a Brown Pelican (go figure!).

		Currently there are 113 white winged guans involved in the reproduction program.
		The newly released Guans spend some time in the giant aviary where they become accustomed to the natural habitat.
		Other than the White-Winged Guan, some of the birds housed in the facility included: Spix Guan, Sickle winged Guan, Blue Throated Guan, Aburria Aburrie, Bearded Guan, Nocturnal Curassow, Speckled Chachalaca, Razor Billed Curassow and Salvinis Curassow.
