Supposedly Amazon World in the UK has these. The Dallas World Aquarium has at least two, a breeding pair, but I am unaware if any offspring have been produced. How did quetzals (in general) do at Walsrode?
 
They did very well, if I'm right they - one male, 2 females - all lived longer then 20 years, the last one even 26 years if I remember right.
 
That's good. I feel that this species and the golden headed species will slowly make their way into more captive situations. They've got a much better record than the other quetzals in captivity, it seems.
