Parrots in wildlife park moved after swearing at visitors
Parrots in wildlife park moved after swearing at visitors
On a bit of light news. Some African Grey Parrots adopted by the park back in August,and breifly put out into the public viewing aviaries,have had to be removed because one of the previous owner(s) taught them how to swear.. We all know how smart this family of birds are.

@Quincey how many Bengal Tigers are residing at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park following the death of Sangha?
Sorry, I have no idea
3 years ago they had 12 mixed sub-species tigers according to earlier posts in this thread. 2 have died this year, but they probably still have a few.
When I visited 2 years ago, I found this the most bizarre tiger set up I have come across - one massive outdoor enclosure with just 3 in it, all the rest locked in. The outdoor exhibit could comfortably have been split in 3 to allow more outdoor access!!

What a bizarre setup,@pipaluk surely the Wildlife Park could extend the Bengal Tiger’s enclosure or send the excess indervigels to another animal collection. I am sure that Wingham Wildlife Park would happily rehome some of the Tigers. I say this as Wingham has a fairly large Tiger enclosure that is currently only home to two brothers named Troy and Blade.
At a guess I would say lincs wildlife park enclosure is at least twice the size of Wingham's, it just needs a dividing fence or 2

I assumed all the tigers took turns for outside access? Is that not so then?
I assume so, my point was they don't need to take turns if the outdoor exhibit was divided, it is very big
I believe now there is 9 tigers left. When I had an experience last year there were 11. The Tigers rotate around the main pen and get at least I chance in the main pen every day.. Depending who is suitable to meet with who it depends how many tigers are outside at one time. . Last I heard they were nearly always on their own but there is a 2 some and they were hoping for a 3 some
Given how many tigers they were expecting considering their solitary nature building one large enclosure does seem like a bit of a design flaw. But from a public point of view (which is a shame) one large one appears better than four enclosures that Noah's Ark have for example...

Not, of course, a Bengal Tiger nor close to one

Further sad news today for Lincolnshire Wildlife Park. Following results of bloods taken from Tiger Bella, it has been discovered that she is also suffering from hereditary renal failure and the decision has been made to euthanise. She will be put to sleep on Tuesday.
This will leave the collection with 5 Tigers, which are split into three groups.

Went to LWP today (plus the Wolds and Ark wildlife) and had a good few hours wandering around in the afternoon.
All the aviaries and bird walkthroughs were open and there was a new one too with small birds (budgies, cockatiels etc) themed to a quiet garden and nice to spend a bit of time in.
Brown lemurs are now in the enclosure where the ruffled lemurs were, the latter are now opposite the leopard.
The Puma was out and about and moving very well despite the amputation.
The nature reserve area that loops around from lions to the tigers was closed due to flooding / mud but it’s not a long backtrack.
It was pretty quiet people wise - most of the animals and birds were active. The tiger in the outdoor enclosure was playing with one of those massive rubber balls which was nice to see.
