Speckled Chachalaca

Ortalis guttata

Least Concern

The Speckled Chachalaca is a noisy, social cracid of Amazonian forest edge and riverine woodland. It moves through thickets, forest edges, and trees in pairs or small groups, feeding mainly on fruit, flowers, leaves, and other plant material. It remains comparatively widespread, but healthy forest and woodland still matter for keeping local populations secure.
