### Feeding

The band\-tailed guan usually forages in groups of up to six, but more may feed in a fruit\-laden tree. It feeds on fruit, usually in the mid\-story, but will eat fallen fruit on the ground.

### Breeding

The band\-tailed guan's breeding season extends from January to May. It is territorial though several territories may be close to each other. The nest is a loose structure of plant matter placed up to  high in a tree.

### Vocal and non\-vocal sounds

The band\-tailed guan uses a wing\-rattling display to announce territories; it sounds like "canvas ripping forward, then in reverse". Alarm calls are "soft, piping whistles" and in extreme alarm "a repeated shrieking 'GUEEA!' interspersed by various gruff notes".
