Great news.

The founding birds came from ???

 

The founding birds are ones that have been in Sao Paulo for quite a while.

 

I saw on the Sao Paulo zoo website that those founder macaws were confiscated from the illegal pet trade. But i cannot find the exact link anymore, so here is a link from O Globo, the major brazilian national news journal. note the following- Todas as aves são adultas e foram apreendidas com traficantes de animais.
