An Alagoas Curassow (Mitu mitu) was born in the Parque Das Aves (Avian Park) in the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguacu, near the Iguazu Falls on Brazil's border with Argentina and Paraguay. The Parque Das Aves says there are currently just 230 specimens of the exotic bird left on the planet, all of which are in captivity. They said the birth of their little chick marked the first time an Alagoas Curassow has hatched in a zoo. Brazilian zoo hatches bird extinct in the wild (VIDEO) | Life | Malay Mail Online
I don't think this is a pure specimen though, is it? As far as I was aware (thanks to previous zoochat discussions) only two private facilities hold pure Alagoas curassow.
Bigger news than I thought - the zoo received some birds (20?) from a breeding facility a few months ago. G1 - Nasce 1º filhote de mutum-de-alagoas reproduzido em zoológico do mundo - notícias em Oeste e Sudoeste
