guan /ɡwɑːn  /nounA large pheasant-like tree-dwelling bird of tropical American rainforests.- Family Cracidae (the guan family): several genera, especially Penelope. The guan family also includes curassows and chachalacas.
One of the habituated birds I remember best was a piping guan - a chicken-sized bird normally found only in the highest treetops - that chose to nest only two yards from a building under construction....- Those who prefer altitude can climb the lodge's seven-story, 115-foot canopy tower and stop at each level to observe tanagers, jacamars, guans, and oropendulas in action.
- Furthermore, fruits in the forest canopy support a disproportionately high amount of bird biomass, because in general frugivores tend to be very large (e.g. guans, toucans, parrots, pigeons).
Origin Late 17th century: via American Spanish from Miskito kwamu.
