Come insetos, aranhas e frutos; regurgita as sementes<br />
maiores. O casal escava o ninho em troncos <strong>de</strong><br />
árvores mortas em <strong>de</strong>composição e cupinzeiros. Põe<br />
os ovos no fun<strong>do</strong> <strong>do</strong> buraco, sem nenhuma forração,<br />

trilhas na mata.<br />
The Surucua Trogon lives in forests, including araucaria,<br />
and brushland. This bird, which can be seen<br />
alone or in pairs, is quite tame and will allow itself to be<br />
approached. Belly color in both males and females varies<br />
regionally, being red in São Paulo and further south, and<br />
orangey in Rio <strong>de</strong> Janeiro and further north.<br />
This species eats insects, spi<strong>de</strong>rs and fruit, spitting<br />
out the larger pips. The pair will furrow a nest in a tree<br />
trunk or a termite mound. The eggs are placed at the<br />
bottom of the cavity, with no padding, and the male<br />
and female both share the incubation. Chicks leave<br />
the nest after 14 or 15 days.<br />
During the breeding season, the male will sing nonstop,<br />
issuing a melodious crescen<strong>do</strong> of flute-like whistles<br />
that resonate throughout the woodland.<br />
Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />
Paranapiacaba mountain ranges • common; often<br />
seen on forest trails.<br />

A patient predator • The Surucua Trogon will stay<br />
perched on a branch for a long time, surveying its<br />
surroundings. As soon as it <strong>de</strong>tects a flying insect,<br />
it will burst into flight, capture its quarry and return<br />
to its perch. It remains so still as it sits in wait that<br />
it will often go un<strong>de</strong>tected, <strong>de</strong>spite its color.<br />
