Sep 01, 1991 / Caratinga Reserve (Fazeda Montes Claros) / Red-billed (Red-knobbed) Curassow
Released pairs (although I don't know if these are breeding pairs, since they are too young to breed). All birds were raised together from 2 months of age. 4 killed by predators, likely wildcats and foxes. 1 dead but w/o signs of predation. 2 caught, but not killed by poachers (they were trying to re-sell them). Most birds made nests to sleep in on the first night of the release, some within 15 m of the release pen.
