Registros de Nidificação e Cuidado Parental de Inhuma, Anhima cornuta (Ave Anseriforme da Família Anhimidae) em Ambiente Urbano

Abstract

This work describes behavioral patterns of Anhema cornuta (inhuma), nesting and parental care in an urban environment, aiming to collaborate with studies of the biology of this species. Data were obtained through visual observations and with the use of a Canon P900 camera.Continuous naturalistic observations were carried out during 20 days of June 2022, through two sessions per day lasting approximately thirty minutes, where the method used was ad libitum. An ethogram was prepared containing 13 identified behaviors, grouped into five categories, maintenance, food, rest, locomotion and perching.
