"As the door of the wire enclosure is unlatched, a small coal-black bird hops
forward. For a moment, it perches at the threshold and cocks its head
quizzically at its newfound liberty, then flits into the undergrowth of the
surrounding savanna. Within just a few minutes, its mate, a chestnut-brown
female, follows suit.

These two great-billed seed finches are part of a decades-long conservation
project that aims to reintroduce one of Brazil’s most endangered species into a
part of the Cerrado grassland that used to be its home before poaching for
trade wiped out the birds."
