Details
The crested pheasant is called Ortalis cinereiceps in Latin and Grey-headed Chachalaca in English.
Crested pheasants usually play an important role as seed dispersers. It feeds mainly on banana fruit, coffee berries and tree leaves. Leaves make up a larger proportion of the diet than fruit, and they occasionally peck at insects.

Generally in small, monogamous groups, breeding is most likely to occur during the rainy season, between December and May. Each litter hatches an average of three chicks.
