Shy, terrestrial or semiterrestrial birds, they live in the dense undergrowth in the forest of Central and South America. The family is sometimes known as “ground” birds.

All species have a compact, rounded body; a sternum lacking a keel: short, rounded wings, a short tail, long legs and large feet.

Many species are secretive and difficult to observe
