BOTD: Little Tinamou
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"Furtive, almost tailless small game bird that lives on the ground in humid tropical lowlands. Favors forest edge and dense secondary growth rather than forest interior. When disturbed runs rather than flies. Very rarely seen (sometimes crosses quiet roads or trails), but tremulous whistles are often heard, especially early and late in the day."

Puna Tinamou (Tinamotis pentlandii), family Tinamidae, order Tinamiformes, found in Puna (high altitude grassland) in the Southern Andes Mountains of South America.
The tinamous are an ancient group of birds, related to ratites (ostriches, rheas, emus, and cassowaries).
Though they are not strong flyers, they are capable of flight.

Are they though?
They are part of Palaeognathae, and cladistically fall within the rattite radiation, but I thought "rattites" was an informal name that describes a grade rather than a clade, namely birds without a keel on their sternum.

January 3, 2024 - Brown Tinamou (Crypturellus obsoletus) These tinamous are found in mountain and lowland forests in parts of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Foraging on the forest floor, usually alone or in pairs, they eat seeds and probably invertebrates, though the details of their diet are unknown. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though they nest on the ground, laying clutches of around three or four eggs. Males may incubate the eggs alone, as in other tinamou species.

BOTD: Great Tinamou
Photo: Aaron Maizlish
"Large, almost tailless game bird that lives on the ground in humid tropical lowlands. Hunted for food and thus has been wiped out from many areas. Rarely seen, but haunting two-parted whistled song can be heard, especially early and late in the day and even at night. Sometimes flushes explosively from close range, crashing off through the forest understory."

how can I convince the other people editing the wikipedia reptile page to let me include birds
#all the arguments against it on the talk page rely on common understanding of the word reptile being exclusionary of birds#which I believe is changing and therefore we should include info on birds as common understanding moves closer to a more accurate taxonomy#I've also lowkey been in a fight over the ratite page but fewer people are editing that one so I don't think I'll have as much backlash#for changing language to be more open to the inclusion of the tinamous
