Solitary and discreet, this bird lives in the forest<br />

and will rarely appear in open areas, though it can sometimes<br />

be seen in gar<strong>de</strong>ns and orchards.<br />

It eats fruit, both wild (jussara palm) and cultivated,<br />

as well as large insects.<br />

During the breeding season, seven or eight males<br />

will gather in morning groups to put on a kind of show,<br />

swelling their red throats and shaking their heads while<br />

issuing a <strong>de</strong>ep, powerful moo that can be heard up to<br />

two kilometers away. Other than during these exhibitions,<br />

the bird is generally quiet.<br />

Threatened by <strong>de</strong>forestation, trafficking and hunting,<br />

this species <strong>do</strong>es not survive in altered forest<br />

en viron ments.<br />

Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />

Paranapiacaba mountain ranges • still common in<br />

extensive, well-preserved forest. The best way to spot<br />

this bird is to focus on fruit-bearing trees.<br />

Fugin<strong>do</strong> <strong>do</strong> inverno • No su<strong>de</strong>ste <strong>do</strong> país, o pavó<br />

faz migrações altitudinais: ao chegar o frio, ele<br />

<strong>de</strong>sce as serras rumo a regiões mais baixas e<br />

quentes, voltan<strong>do</strong> a subir quan<strong>do</strong> esquenta <strong>de</strong> novo.<br />

Supõe-se que <strong>de</strong>sloque-se em busca <strong>de</strong> frutos,<br />

que ficam escassos durante o inverno frio e seco.<br />

Fleeing the winter • In southeast Brazil, this species<br />

migrates over short distances from higher to lower<br />

altitu<strong>de</strong>s. In winter, it heads for lower, warmer slopes<br />

in search of fruits, climbing again when the weather<br />

warms. It migrates in search of fruit, scarce during<br />

the cold, dry winter.<br />
