 In Jersey , the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust , in partnership with the States of Jersey and the National Trust for Jersey began a project in 2010 , aimed at restoring selected areas of Jersey 's coastline with the intention of returning those birds that had become locally extinct . The red @-@ billed chough was chosen as a flagship species for this project , having been absent from Jersey since around 1900 . Durrell initially received two pairs of choughs from Paradise Park in Cornwall and began a captive breeding programme . In 2012 , the red @-@ billed choughs were living free in the central valley area of Durrell Wildlife Park , and the Trust expects colonisation of the coastal areas of Jersey in the following years .
