Zusammenfassung:Post‐release monitoring data of reintroduced captive‐bred birds can be utilized to help optimize future avian reintroduction programs. We present a case study of broad interest to reintroduction and conservation biologists interested in investigating movements and habitat use by reintroduced captive‐bred birds. We used radio telemetry to monitor reintroduced captive‐bred red‐billed curassow Crax blumenbachii at a private reserve, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. During August 2006 and October 2008, 25 radio‐tagged individuals (15 females and 10 males, all
