Australian brush turkey / Alectura lathami lathami

What a beautiful bird. Too bad they are not common in the US. According to ISIS there is only 4 zoos in north america with this species.

I think they're actually quite rare in Australian zoos too. I've only seen them at 2 zoos here. The Kyabram Fauna Park have a pair and bred them a few years ago and Healesville Sanctuary had one quite a few years ago that was in an unlabeled aviary near the wetlands area. Are there many more? From what I've seen they're quite tough on any aviary they're in because they scratch up any topsoil and plants.

I really would love to see these stateside. Australian wildlife is so cool
