| 説明 | The Yellow-knobbed Cursssow itself was sitting deep inside his cage, at a good height, and zooming in was made difficult with the thich mesh around the bird, as you can see in the picture. Be that as it may, the yellow-knobbed curassow is a large species of bird found in forest and woodland in Colombia and Venezuela. It feeds mainly on the ground, but flies up into trees if threatened. Its most striking features are its crest, made of feathers that curl forward, and the fleshy yellow knob at the base of its bill. Females lack this fleshy yellow knob, but otherwise resemble the male in the plumage, being overall black with a white crissum. The adult is some 33–37" and weighs about 2–3 kg. Yellow-knobbed Curassows eat fruit, leaves, seeds, and small animals. Unlike most other game birds, Curassows nest off the ground, with both sexes helping in the construction. The female lays just 2 eggs - a tiny clutch compared to those of many ground-nesting game birds. (Emirates Park Zoo, Samha, Abu Dhabi, Jan. 2015) |
