I was editing my Zoo Miami footage from 2011 over the weekend and saw that I had captured a Thick-Billed Ground Pigeon (Trugon terrestris) in their Wings of Asia aviary. At the time I was completely unphased about it but now wish I had cared they were at Zoo Miami as I'm really interested in them due to their close relationship taxonomically with both the Crowned Pigeons and Choiseul Pigeon. Is there any left in the US or in North America in general for either zoos, aviaries, or within aviculture? I did some searching and the trail is a bit foggy. It seems like there were some in a small amount of collections in the US that have either died out or now probably only exist in San Diego or were sent to the EAZA. Thanks in advance.
