Behavior
Introduction
The behavior of Hooded Tinamou is very poorly known. As is typical of most species of forest-inhabiting tinamous, Hooded Tinamou is secretive and is seen only infrequently, and only for brief periods. It forages on the forest floor, presumably primarily by gleaning from the ground.
Spacing
There are no published data on territorial defense, maintenance, or home range size for Hooded Tinamou.
Sexual Behavior
Undescribed for Hooded Tinamou. From what is known of the breeding system of other species, "the general rule among tinamous is simultaneous polygyny for males and sequential polyandry for females" (Cabot 1992); males of the closely related Highland Tinamou (Nothocercus bonapartei) are polygynous.
Social and Interspecific Behavior
Hooded Tinamou usually is solitary or in pairs (Walker 2005).
Predation
No reports of predation on Hooded Tinamou?
