Curassow kids! July 4, 2018

When I was out collecting leaves yesterday, I came across a female curassow with two chicks. They were moving fast, so I didn’t get a photo, but they were ridiculously cute. The chicks were older than the ones I’ve seen before—instead of looking like giant fluffy goslings, they looked like quarter-scale replicas of their mom. In other words, they had dark heads with little mohawk crests, reddish brown bodies, and red-and-white striped tails. And that’s about all the news I’ve got.
