Topic: Tinamou


In the News (Tue 21 May 13)

  
  Tinamou - LoveToKnow 1911
The genus he had founded was usually placed among the Gallinae, and by many writers was held to be allied to the bustards, which, it must be remembered, were then thought to be "struthious." Indeed the likeness of the Tinamou's bill to that of the Rhea was remarked in 1811 by Illiger.
The eggs are very remarkable objects, curiously unlike those of other birds; and their shell looks as if it were of highly-burnished metal or glazed porcelain, presenting also various colours, which seem to be constant in the particular species, from pale primrose to sage-green or light indigo, or from chocolate brown to pinkish orange.
All who have eaten it declare the flesh of the Tinamou to have a most delicate taste, as it has a most inviting appearance, the pectoral muscles being semi-opaque.

 HOAGBA: Crested Tinamou
Crested Tinamou, members of the family Tinamidae, have a superficial resemblance to gallinaceous birds or the partridges and the quails, but anatomically they seem to be closely related to the rheas and ornithologists regard Tinamou as one of the most primitive species of birds.
Tinamou are non-migratory birds that have adapted themselves to a variety of habitats ranging from mountain slopes, tropical rain forests, and the grasslands of southern Mexico, Central American and extending in South America to Patagonia.
Like other Tinamou, male and female Crested Tinamou are alike in color and form, but females are usually a bit larger in size and often are more aggressive especially during the courtship.

 Digimorph - Crypturellus cinnamomeus (thicket tinamou)
Crypturellus cinnamomeus, the thicket or rufescent tinamou, is a quail to partridge sized bird from the lowlands of Central America.
The Tinamiformes share certain affinities with the group of birds defined as 'paleognaths' (e.g., kiwi, moa, elephant bird), but their relations to or within the paleognathes are unresolved as the very definition of the group 'paleognath' is inconsistent and somewhat contentious in the field of avian systematics.
Unlike their paleognathous cousins, the rheas, emus, and ostriches, tinamous are volant.

 WORLDTWITCH - Peru - Rediscovery of Kalinowski's Tinamou in Peru, by Gunnar Engblom
We tried to think of other things than tinamous for these cryptic feathers, but over and over again we came back to the conclusion that they must be tinamou feathers.
It is likely that Kalinowski's Tinamou has been locally extirpated due to this hunting pressure, and where there is habitat left and it remains it would have evolved to be very shy and difficult to flush after thousands of years of hunting.
It is likely only to be found in areas with vast puna grassland where Ornate Tinamou does not exist (which seems to be its ecological equivalent and very closely related) and where the human population is not big.

 Little Tinamou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Little Tinamou, (Crypturellus soui), is a member of the most ancient groups of bird families, the tinamous.
It is a resident breeder in humid forests and other damp overgrown habitats from southern Mexico down through Central and South America as far as southern Brazil.
The Little Tinamou is rarely seen in its dark, dense forests, walking away through the undergrowth.

 THE RUFESCENT TINAMOU   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Rufescent Tinamou's whistle can be imitated easily, and it is possible to station one's self in the thicket and whistle the bird up.
It is hard to believe, as one drives southward along the main Laredo to Mexico City highway that there are tinamous within hearing distance of kilo- meter mark 619--but there they are; and there they will continue to be as long as the thicket remains.
HE Rufescent Tinamou (Crypturellus cinnamomeus) is the most northern of the tinamous.
