Just wondering which Tinamou-species are kept in captivity. For Europe we have of course Zootierliste but which species are kept in the rest of the world ? Also found this nice article about Tinamous : Mountain Hens Lay Glossy, Color-Changing Eggs | IFLScience
None in Australasia of course, and in fact the only place I've seen them is Leipzig, surprisingly didn't see any at the Singapore or San Diego Zoos.
Only place I have seen one is Magdeburg - sadly the Leipzig animal died not long after you saw it zooboy.
Oh - that's no good. I was so excited to see the tinimou, which I hadn't expected to see at all. I spent a good time watching, photographing and even filming it, longer than I spent at any other exhibit in that zoo (except possibly the Baikal Seal). It wasn't in the best enclosure though, seemed very small for such a bird. Are tinimou's particularly difficult to keep in captivity? Why are there so few?
I believe Elegant Crested Tinamou is the most common in captivity over here and it's the only one I've seen. I do know there are quite a few Little Tinamou around as well though I've yet to see them having missed them at Philadelphia. ~Thylo

The species exhibited are the little and elegant crested, however I have no idea what they have off exhibit. The aquarium has a lot of rare birds off exhibit and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some tinamous back there.
From volume 1 to volume 36 the following tinamou species are listed as having bred in zoos.
