I would keep it to public collections only here, as getting a complete and accurate list is already complicated enough zoowise, but next to impossible if you include private breeders..
@jayjds2 okay, will edit that on the next update! That's what I figured as well, yeah! Two examples of 'controversial' ones that did make it in the list, however, are: -Long-wattled umbrellabird at Zoologico del Istmo. Jacobo Lacs is the director of Panama's Zoologico del Istmo and has a private collection as far as I know, but I am not sure at which of these facilities the umbrellabirds are kept. I decided to include him as he does work with other zoos, and has a website in which he has photographs of breeding long-wattled umbrellabirds. (Umbrella Bird | Jacobo Lacs, Panama Blog) -Screaming piha at Berry brothers aviaries, for reasons stated in the last page.
One of the Purple-throated Fruitcrows currently at Wuppertal was in a private collection in the UK for many years. And no, it would not be right for me to disclose the name of the breeder of Spangled Cotingas. However, he does cooperate with zoos.
Agree with lintworm for your "official" list but evenso guess it would be good to at least report known privat holders / breeders of these great birds !
I was at the Houston zoo today and saw no pampadour cotingas on exhibit. I do not know wether they still have them or not.
I don't think Ueno still have them.JAZA doesn't list them,and someone said he died in 2014.I didn't see andean cock-of-the-rock when I visit back in 2016 too.
The berry brothers are private breeders/dealers, indeed from Italy. Very nice guys! Now both off them . Spangled cotinga's are kept in some numbers in private aviculture as well as Capuchinbird. In Europe one can also see purple-breasted cotinga and Guianan red cotinga in private aviculture. The bellbirds are not kept anymore by the DWA.
Is it for certain that Wuppertal sttill got 1.1 spangled cotinga. After 1 hour searching in the tropic hall, I only saw the male.
Yesterday I visited - together with ShoneJjake13 and korhoen - Burgers Zoo and in the Bush we discovered the tinny nest of a Screaming piha with a young in it, begging for food to one of the parent-birds . Have just uploaded a picture of the young and the nest ( see Young Screaming piha at the nest | ZooChat ).
Visited today the Open Day of Wisbroek Breeding Center in the Netherlands and found some cotingas being kept there. - Andean cock of the rock - loads of them - after seeing them in at least 5 different aviaries I stopped counting them ! - Guianan cock of the rock - not as numberous as the Andeans but also kept in at least 3 aviaries ! Took a good number of photos and I will upload some in the Wisbroek Gallery - the Netherlands later .
Visited today Avifauna and they still have 2 cotinga-species : - Spangled cotinga - 1 female seen - Guianan cock-of-the-rock - one pair on display
Intresting article about Cotingas in captivity. Was unfortunatly unable to find Part one of this article on-line : Cotingas in Aviculture, Part II | Lindholm | AFA Watchbird
Pinola Conservancy has started Guianan cock-of-the-rock and capuchinbird, per their website. It is not open to the public, but it essentially serves as a bridge between zoos and private collectors, so it should be counted here. Many species new to American zoos appear here first, are bred, and then exhibited elsewhere. A recent example is eastern spotted dove, slowly appearing in zoos such as Miami and Philadelphia. I imagine it is reasonable to assume these cotingas are from the Dallas World Aquarium.
To reaffirm what others have said and follow up on our own conversations: After my successful recent visit with @d1am0ndback, we can personally confirm that Guianan red cotinga is kept, with 1.1 on show. I think these are individuals and the old ones died out, but I am not sure. Unfortunately, three-wattled bellbirds have died out at the aquarium. The screaming piha were heard loud and clear. They’re in a rather obscure location so therefore challenging to see, but definitely present.
Guess this could need an update as well.

The Berlin bird died late last year. Not sure either bird is alive now - they have not been seen nor signposted for a while now.
At the Como Park Zoo, I saw either Cotinga cotinga or C. cayana. I didn't see it for long and it was unsigned.
What do you base this on? Do you have any pictures or other proof? I haven't heard/read anything about lovely cotinga being kept in captivity, so information proving otherwise would be very welcome!
