Talegalla fuscirostris

Talegalla fuscirostris (Black-billed Brush-turkey) has four subspecies.

The black-billed camp Megacanth acts alone and in pairs. Omnivorous, eating small invertebrates and a wide variety of foods on the forest floor. Shy and mysterious, but can perch in small trees and fly short distances, not long distances.

They do not incubate their own eggs, but lay their eggs in piles of humus leaves, and use natural heat to incubate their eggs naturally in a large burial mound-shaped nest. The chicks hatch in the mound, sometimes as deep as 90 centimeters below the soil. It takes them 15 to 20 hours to get out of the mound. The clever little bird poked its head out of the crowd and was immediately surrounded by a strange and hostile world. Soon after its birth, the chicks will fly low from the ground and flutter to the low branches, where they will rest and spend the night.

All are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
