Guan



The Guan bird enjoys a broad variety of species across Asian national rainforests। This tropical bird has pinkish web feet, a long neck, a medium to gull size that looks caught between a crane or gannet with a sizing fraction of the cuckoo multiplied in. The elegant, long, thin, small neck sets up the small guan’s head, with a sharp eye, wing contrast coloration, and petite size.
The Guan inhabits South and Central America as well as Caribbean shores. Many breeds of Guan populate Brazil, Venezuela, Panama, Guyana, Peru, and Ecuador. The tropical habitats of many countries, like Argentina and Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and the Amazon are not supporting a disproportionate amount of their guan bird species to survive.
Although fruit and insect food sources may be present, arboreal and moist forest cover and scrubland often are lacking. Guans can support a basic fruit diet with flowers, insects and foliage and invertebrates when normal food sources are low. The dietetic flexibility of these frugivores across many Guan varieties may hold the key to their survival.

The group of guan species in endangered or threatened status practically reads like an asterisk roster for international concern। The possibility of adopting a guan bird as a pet might have highly problematic complications and consequences. Many of the guan bird family have been hunted for food as well as suffering shrinking habitats. Mexico and El Salvador have laws preventing hunting these rare birds.
The brilliant calls and songbird trills of the guan species are valued by bird watchers. The exciting variety of guan species alone make it a challenge for bird lovers to identify which is which. But many species of the guan are endangered, near extinct, or nearing a worsening status. The tropical rainforest and subtropical and moist montane forest habitats simply are not protected enough to preserve this bird naturally.

The Highland Guan, Cauca Guan and Black Guan are threatened birds. Many more species of Guan are high up on the endangered list of birds due to habitat loss. Deforestation has caused many problems for guans. Almost every variation of Guan bird is eligible or worsening. The Trinidad Piping Guan is rarifying, its worsening , or listed as threatened by international bird watching authorities.

Types of Guan found throughout the world, include Highland Guan, Black Guan, Sickle-winged Guan, Band-tailed Guan, Bearded Guan, Baudo Guan, Andean Guan, Marail Guan, Rusty-margined Guan, Red-faced Guan, Crested Guan, Cauca Guan, White-winged Guan, Dusky-legged Guan, White-crested Guan, and Chestnut-bellied Guan।
