Marail Guan

The adult bird is about 80 cm long and has a handsome tail feather. His dark brown body was speckled with opalescent spots, faintly reflecting a dark green glow in the sun; With its red crop embedded under its jaw, it looked like a dark evening dress with a bright red bow tie.

It is found only on the western edge of Guyana's native forests. It lives in forests and is the most arboreal of the galliniformes.

The green-backed crested pheasant (Penelopemarais), also known as Marail Guan, likes to live in large groups. Most of the time they live in pairs or in groups of 6-12. They walk on branches, looking for fruits and leaves to eat. A bird's nest is built on a tree or stump with branches and leaves. The female will lay two to three eggs at a time, which are rough and white in surface. The female will dish the eggs alone.

Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.

Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
