Native Birds in Australian Zoos
- Thread starter aves2003
- Start date
So my last visit to Ipswich Nature Centre was in late January this year and these are the species I can recall:
Red tailed black cockatoo
Rainbow lorikeet
Black swan
Magpie geese (possibly wild)
Chestnut teal
Glossy ibis
Bush stone curlew
Little corella
Satin bowerbird
White-faced heron
Buff-banded rail
Australasian figbird
Blue-faced honeyeater
Pale-headed rosella
King parrot
Princess parrot
Cockatiel
Emerald dove
Common bronzewing
Wonga pigeon
White-headed pigeon
Bar-shouldered dove
Tawny frogmouth
Laughing kookaburra
I think that's it off the top of my head, it may have changed considering this was 6 months ago however their stock has remained pretty consistent for a few years now

I'm pretty sure there are four zoos that have them. Adelaide, Taronga and Healesville and Rockhampton
Regarding keeping them they are a very large insectivorous bird that feeds on the ground but breeds in trees. You would need a very big planted aviary where they could forage on the ground and an unlimited supply of insects. Their continual scratching and foraging makes it difficult to maintain the plantings in the aviary. I would not say not difficult so much as demanding and beyond what many zoos would be prepared to invest.

So far Regent and Helmeted honeyeaters are being the most-kept honeyeaters in Australia, most likely because they were endangered. I've seen records of many non-threatened beautiful honeyeaters in private collections in Australia, but too bad many of them were not too attracted by Australian zoos.
Blue-faced honeyeater and Friarbirds were fairly common in Australian zoos, but it would be interesting to make a complete list of honeyeaters kept in captivity in Australia!

Helmeted honeyeaters are not commonly kept, the only places with them are Healesville, Melbourne and Moonlit, as far as I know. Of course helmeted honeyeaters are a subspecies of the yellow-tufted honeyeater and other subspecies are kept privately and in zoos.
Regents are in 10 zoos give or take, but are not held privately.
Probably the most common species seen in aviculture are scarlet honeyeaters and the three chats. Other species are occasionally available privately and sometimes appear in some zoos. However overall there is littlie interest in small passerines in Australian zoos these days.

Does anybody know how many zoos in Australia keeps Squatter pigeons?
There should be a handful of places that have them but like most native birds there is limited information available on their current status in Australian zoos. In more recent times I've seen them at Melbourne Zoo in 2018 (they still had one male as of June 2021) and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary up until around 2020. They are also present in private aviculture so there should be a few other facilities with them. Overseas, I also know San Diego Zoo have this species in their Australian bird aviary.
Edit: A quick search of the photo galleries and forums reveal recent records of this species at Taralga Wildlife Park and Featherdale Wildlife Park as well.

Having just visited the zoo yesterday, I did not see Squatter Pigeon signed or present; also looks like nobody has photographed one there in nearly a decade. Still several other native Australian birds though.
They were signed in Dec 2017 in the Australian aviary, however I did not see any. Haven't seen any report of them the last couple years either; they're probably gone.

Here's my list of native birds in captivity. I'll list as many zoos as I can even though some of them may've already been featured. I'm only gonna list a species once even if they're at multiple zoos. The first post is zoos I've been to and I'll continue it onto the second post which is zoos I haven't visited.
