About These Birds
Alagoas Curassow
A large cracid (~2.9 kg) of family Cracidae, with glossy black plumage and a distinctive red knobbed bill. Extinct in the Wild; the last wild individuals disappeared from Alagoas, Brazil by the 1980s due to deforestation of the Atlantic Forest. A captive population survives in Brazilian zoos, with reintroduction programs underway. One of the most critically imperiled birds globally.

A medium-large cracid (~1 kg) of family Cracidae, with olive-brown plumage and a bare red throat. Endemic to the Baudó and western Andes of Colombia and possibly northwestern Ecuador. Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests up to 1,200 m. Feeds on fruits and seeds in the forest canopy. Endangered due to severe deforestation in the Chocó biodiversity hotspot and hunting pressure.
