Yesterday was a very cold day, we are starting winter 4ºC, cloudy, without wind and with a thin fog. Our visitors had breakfast with the brocoli leaves and then walked down the path to the front gate.

They are Jacutingas or Jacús.

The jacutinga, also called jacuapeti, jacupará and peru-do-mato, is a bird of the cracid family that inhabits the virgin forests of the Midwest and Southeast regions of Brazil. Measures about 75 cm, feeds on fruits and berries; until the 1950s and 1960s, it was relatively common in this habitat.
