White-necked picathartes

Dec. 30 1980. Also known as Yellow-headed Picathartes or Rockfowl. Rotterdam Zoo obtained it's first one during 1971 and had at one time ( 1979 ) no less then 8 birds ! By 1980 - when the picture was taken - 7 were in the collection. Today not a single specimen is kept in captivity :(

      WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I would die for see one in a zoo. Unfortunately, even its less atractive (but equally rare) parent P. oreas, is now disappeared from all the world's zoos :-(
