Actually, this animal has been at Zoo Brasilia since 2011. They sometimes tell the stories of aniamls that aren't well known by the public and/or that have been there for a long time in a way that does makes them seem like new individuals, so the confusion is understandable.

The website of their zoo is quite complete and is updated from time to time, so I do recommend checking it out if anyone has a doubt about their collection (it is in portuguese do, so you guys will probably need to use a translator)

The first project to inaugurate the execution of the zoo's masterplan is now complete and open: Brasília's first walkthrough aviary, called "Cores e Sons da Mata" (Colours and Sounds of the Forest, in english). These are the species living on it:

- Scarlet macaw (Ara macao)
- Golden conure (Guaruba guarouba)
- Chopi blackbird (Gnorimopsar chopi)
- Vinaceous-breasted amazon (Amazona vinacea)
- Red-crested cardinal (Paroaria coronata)
- Black-fronted piping-guan (Pipile jacutinga)
- Lettered aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus)
- Squirrel cuckoo (Piaya cayana)
- Epaulet oriole (Icterus cayanensis)
