The Hoatzin, Opisthocomus hoazin, is an arboreal bird species considered to be primarily folivore, with the eventual consumption of other vegetal parts, such as shoots and flowers. I report here the consumption of floral resources by the Hoatzin in Brazil, using citizen science data. I present four records of Hoatzins feeding on stamens of flowers and buds of Pseudobombax munguba (Malvaceae) during the dry season. These are new items in the Hoatzin’s diet. Further studies are necessary to investigate how Hoatzins rely on this tree species and to quantify their role in causing damage to its reproductive parts.

Presento cuatro registros de Hoatzins alimentándose de estambres de flores y botones de Pseudobombax munguba (Malvaceae) durante la estación seca. Estos son elementos nuevos en la dieta del Hoatzin. Se necesitan más estudios para investigar cómo los Hoatzins dependen de esta especie de árbol, y para cuantificar su papel al causar daños a las partes reproductivas de esta planta.
