Are there any horned parakeets in the US?

Wildwood in WI, Toledo, Olympic Game Farm, and Steve Martin's Working Wildlife are the ones I have noted as claiming to have Kodiak.
With Bengals, it's not just a few roadside zoos - the majority of non-AZA zoos that don't have Amur claim to have Bengal.

Does Aquamarine Fukushima still have their juvenile Sailfish? Billfish in general never seem to last long.
I do know for a fact that they are kept at the San Diego Zoo’s Aviary Trail, since I saw one on my most recent trip back in July 2020. I don’t know if any other zoo keeps them though.
Far as I know only San Diego has them in the US. I'm not aware of any privately held birds here either, though I know there are private birds in Europe.
A quick look at ZTL will tell you that ZOOM now keeps Kamchatka brown bears. Their last Kodiak brown bear died in 2014.Thanks, I believe ZOOM erlebniswelt’s bears are labelled as kodiak judging from the gallery (I’ve never been myself so couldn’t confirm).
Currently, the only European zoo that keeps Kodiak (1.0., to be precise) is the bear park of Orsa Grönklitt in Sweden.

Any other Guam Rails besides Cincinnati?
Off-show at SDZ, on-show in Philadelphia, Sedgwick county, San Antonio, Lincoln park and probably others.
I think there's also some at the Bronx Zoo.
When I was a very young child, in the late 1950s / early 1960s, Kodiak bears were kept in the old Lubetkin Gorilla House at London Zoo. Kodiak bears were also kept at Whipsnade Zoo, in what was originally the tiger pit, until the 1980s. I've also seen Kodiak bears at Duisburg Zoo although it is many years since I last saw one.
The bears at Toledo and Wildwood are siblings that came from the wild from Kodiak Island, so they for sure have pure Kodiak.
Fresno Chaffee should still have them too, in addition to the other places already listed.

Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo has Guam rails off display.
Lots of places, thankfully. Not already mentioned are Racine Zoo and Guam Zoo.

Are white-breasted, black, or plumed guineafowl kept in any zoos? I only know of helmeted, crested, and vulturine guineas in captivity.
All species have been kept in captivity in the past, but I am not aware of any at the moment.
Extremely uncommon
1 holder of american marten (possibly one other), 5 holders of pine marten (at least 1 is behind the scenes). 4 of those are in the dakotas and montana, so really out of the way for most people to visit.
