Houston Zoo

August 24 - Blue-Billed Curassows

Native to Colombia, the blue-billed curassow has been in our Zoo since 1969, with our first hatch in 1970. More than 50 years later, we successfully had our first parent-reared chick hatch last November, followed by a second parent-reared chick hatching two months ago. You can spot our female curassow and chick in the Cliffs Aviary in our South America’s Pantanal exhibit.
