Dark-winged Trumpeter Psophia viridis

The dark-winged trumpeter is found in the Amazon Basin of Brazil south of the Amazon River. It forages in groups containing up to about 20 individuals. Its diet is not known in detail but includes fruit, arthropods, small vertebrates, and carrion. It sometimes follows army ant swarms to capture fleeing prey.

Gray partridge Perdix perdix

A bird found across Eurasia and introduced to North America, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand as a game bird. They are a seed-eating species, but the young in particular take insects as an essential protein supply. The parents lead their chicks to the edges of cereal fields, where they can forage for insects.

While they are globally ranked as Least Concern, gray partridges have declined in Britain and Ireland.
