Resumo

Captive breeding of avian species, both for commercial and conservation purposes, demands healthy breeders for viable healthy progenies.Commercially raised pets must be healthy for market viability and considering the conservation projects, sufficient and health progeny numbers are required, especially for the endangered species.Native Brazilian species, endangered or extinct from nature, have been reproduced in captivity and the obtained progenies have enabled their return to nature, as demonstrated for Amazona aestiva (Lopes, 2016), Aburria jacutinga, Crax blumenbachii, and Pauxi mitu in Brazil (Avelar and Simpson, 2014;Silveira, 2017).
