Diet and Foraging

The White-winged Guan feeds on vegetable material (fruits, flowers, seeds and leaves) from at least 34 species of trees and bushes of the dry forest (Ortiz and Diaz 1997, Lerner et al. 2003). The most important species in the diet of the White-winged Guan are the fig "Higuerón" (Ficus spp.) and "Overo" (Cordia lutea), since both are available most of the year.

Other species that form part of the diet of the White-winged Guan are shown in the following table:
