Weltvogelpark Walsrode news from Walsrode 2020

I don't think this information has been talked about here but I just found this text on another forum.

"Im übrigen sagte mir eine Tierpflegerin, dass der letzte Kiwi des Parks verstorben ist. Auch der kleine Adjutant könnte nicht mehr im Bestand sein. (04.09.2020, 21:02)"

If Google translates this correctly and if I understand it correctly it basically says that one zookeeper said that the parks last Northern Kiwi recently died? It seems to be correct as the park is no longer linked to the species on zootierliste either.

I wonder if they will get new kiwis or just remake the whole kiwi house into something else?
 
I might be late about this but I just saw on zootierliste that the park got Cuban Trogons (Priotelus temnurus) this year. 6 individuals seem to be on-show right now in Pukara. If this information is correct Walsrode is the only public facility in Europe keeping the species at the moment.

I wonder where they got them from.
A late french bird breeder used to be pretty succesful breeding them (correct me if I'm wrong). When he passed away, the full collection of his birds was given to Beauval.
Maybe the 6 trogons come from there?

According to zootierliste the last Cuban trogon at Beauval died now in 2020 (if I understand it correct). So no idea where Walsrode got theirs from.

The trogon that recently died is a specimen they got from that same breeder a while back, before he passed away.
The collection of the late man consisted of a few interesting species of tanagers (some rarities I can't recall precisely), Andean cocks-of-the-rock, Cuban trogons and White woodpeckers. His family announced that Beauval was to take care of the birds after the sad news. This was 1 or 2 years ago, but maybe some White woodpeckers will show up in Walsrode ?
 
Am I the only that totally have missed the information about that Walsrodes last Storm's stork died last year (2019)? What a shame that I never got to see them.
