Abstract: Detailed discussions of the crested tinamous, Eudromia elegans elegans, and E. e. albida, and less detailed information about E. e. patagonica, include habitat preferences, climate, food and water uses, general habits and behavior, reproduction, predation, diseases and parasites. Competition with other wildlife and economic relations of crested tinamous in their native range are analyzed and, as far as possible, projected to conditions in possible regions of liberation in the United States. Propagation techniques and trapping methods are discussed. Summarized are important considerations and recommendations for the crested tinamou as a new game bird that might be considered for experimental introduction into the western United States. |
