A first for the Smithsonian’s Nationwide Zoo: 4 elegant crested tinamou chicks hatched recently at the Zoo's Bird House.

With the arrival of the adult female just five months in the past, Zoo staff was extremely happy to have the tinamou chicks hatch on Oct. 30 and 31. In this species, the female lays the olive green eggs and then leaves them, while the male assumes all the responsibility for the offspring. To date he has done well as a first-time father.

The elegant crested tinamous are native to Chile and Argentina and prefer dry savannahs and open woodlands. They are hunted commonly for food and sport, but currently the populace is steady. The chicks are on community display at the Zoo’s Bird House.
