An endangered bird. I don't know the exact current status. It went extinct in the wild around 2000. Just last year a team tried to reintroduce them to the wild, but the source of the money used for their program is unknown, and suspected to be linked to wildlife trafficking. This is just what I have read, so do take it with a grain of salt.

I guess I have to credit Rio for this. As bad and inaccurate as it was, it caught my attention that there were some beautiful birds going extinct even now.

I don't know how good of sources they are, but I will link some articles should you want to read them yourself.
