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.

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.
 
The park is to receive Lears Macaws from Loro Parque to start a breeding group :)
