Behavior
Introduction
Choco Tinamou forages on the ground, but otherwise the behavior of this species is very poorly known. As is typical of forest tinamous, it is shy and seen only infrequently. When flushed, it rises in rapid flight (Wetmore and Galindo 1972).
Territoriality
There is no information on territorial defense, maintenance, or fidelity for Choco Tinamou. At one site in Colombia, 10-15 singing individuals were encountered along a ca 3 km length of trail (Porteus and Acevedo 1996).
Sexual Behavior
Undescribed for Choco Tinamou. From what is known of the breeding system of other species, "the general rule among tinamous is simultaneous polygyny for males and sequential polyandry for females" (Cabot 1992).
Social and interspecific behavior
Little information. Presumably Choco Tinamou primarily is solitary, as in other forest tinamous.
Predation
No reports of predation on Choco Tinamou?
