Habitat:
The species mainly lives in primary rainforest and riverine forest areas, although one subspecies Penelopides manillae subnigra has been found to survive in secondary and agro-forests. They feed on 36 species of trees mainly Ficus spp, Artocarpus, Canarium spp, Listea sp, Cinanamomum sp, Dysoxylum spp, Syzygium spp, Cocos cumingii, Livistonia rotundifloriae, and Pinanga insignis. Besides plant matter, they also eat insects, lizards and eggs (Poonswad et al. 2013).
Eggs are laid during the period of March-April, and incubation occurs for 28-31 days, followed by 50-65 days of fledging. About 2-3 eggs are laid every season. The female and chicks emerge together after the nesting period (Poonswad et al. 2013).
