The wattled curassow is widespread in the Andean lowlands and Amazon basin, but its range and abundance have dramatically declined in recent years, with small, scattered, fragmented populations now remaining only in west Brazil, south Colombia, east Ecuador, east Peru and north Bolivia, (2) (5). It has been speculated that the Ecuador population is probably now extinct, while fewer than 300 individuals are thought to persist in Bolivia, fewer than 300 in Peru, and possible fewer than 100 in Colombia.

The Wattled curassow's range consists of Upper Amazonia from southeastern Columbia south along the eastern foothills of the Andes through Ecuador and Peru to northeastern Bolivia. They inhabit somewhat dry areas in the tropical Amazonian forest, staying away from swampy places. Curassows in general are about the size of a wild turkey, averaging 7 - 8 lbs. (3.5 kg). Their diet consists of fruits and greens. The captive diet is similar with chopped fruit, greens and seeds. More

The Wattled Curassow (Crax globulosa) is the least known of the curassows that occur in the Colombian Amazon, and there is no protected area in the country with a confirmed population of the species. This note is intended as a first step in addressing the apparent dearth of hard data about its status and regional biology. More

Overview - The Wattled Curassow is rarely found in the wild, and classified as a vulnerable species due to unsustainable hunting and habitat destruction. It is 82-89 cm (c.32-35 inches) long, and weighs up to 2500 grams (del Hoyo 1994). More

The wattled curassow was another floor-dweller, and spent most of its time at the Discovery Cove aviary trying not to be seen. I caught it on a lucky break out in the open.\n\nThis is one of the great things about the Discovery Cove aviary. You don't have to pay for a tour to South America or Asia or Africa and hope you get lucky enough to see a bird like this. And this close, too. And you'll get to feed it. More

Geographic range: The wattled curassow is found from Colombia and western Brazil to Bolivia. Habitat: This bird prefers the tropical rainfor-est in the Amazon basin. It rarely leaves the trees except to breed.. Diet: Wattled currasows feed on vegetation and small invertebrates (animals without backbones). Behavior and reproduction: The wattled curas-sow whistles softly for four to six seconds at a time. Nothing is known about this bird's repro-ductive habits in the wild. More
