The Black Curassow is a large, predominantly black game bird native to the Guianas and parts of northern Brazil. Males are uniformly glossy black with a yellow cere and knob, while females are also mostly black but have more reddish-brown undertail coverts.
Where to spot
Inhabits lowland rainforests and gallery forests across Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and parts of northern Brazil and eastern Venezuela.
How to spot
To observe, quietly approach mature forest areas. Look for its large, turkey-like form moving slowly through the undergrowth. Listen for its low-pitched, booming calls, which can help in locating individuals in dense foliage.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, particularly observable in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging on the forest floor.

The Black Curassow is unique among its genus for having a relatively uniform black plumage in both sexes, making it less sexually dimorphic in color compared to many other Crax species.
