Nothurinae or aridland tinamous [2] subfamilies of the Tinamidae family , the other being Tinaminae . It contains eighteen species in six genera .
The six genera are:
Description
[ edit ]
These birds, as a member of the tinamou, are ground birds that prefer to run and walk, but will fly when needed.[3]
Taxonomy
[ edit ]
They are related to the ratites (emus , ostriches , kiwis , and rheas ), and are placed with them in the Paleognathae . All of these birds evolved from ancient birds that did fly and tinamous are believed to be a still living primitive family closely related to these ancient birds.[3]
Behavior
[ edit ]
Tinamous eat leaves, buds, small fruits and seeds , and will eats insects for variety.[3]
Range and habitat
[ edit ]
The members of this subfamily live in South America and prefer hills and arid grasslands and scrublands as opposed to the Tinaminae , which prefer forests .[2]
