To begin the thread of 2023 news of Beauval, the direction has announced the opening of the new Mexican-themed hotel Les Rivages de Beauval the 1st April, and the opening of the future South American aviary the 8th April.

I received an email with the exact same artwork, although mine also had flapping hummingbirds:D
I wonder if all the species in this mexican themed poster will be featured in the new attraction

Would the translated version be Knight of the Honor League/Legion? In any case, what would this mean? If just more income due to the title that'd be great news for possible new exports in the future I hope :eek:(with you know burocracy and stuff).

It's the highest order of merit possible in France, a bit like being knighted here in the UK. It doesn't entail any extra income, it's just an honour, but a substantial and important one nevertheless.
 
The walkthrough aviary for Flying Foxes and Aldabra Giant Tortoises is being refurbished in January.
It will be closed for a few weeks.
 
All the ducks have been put in quarantine, probably due to prevention against avian influenza.
It has probably happened recently, as I saw many ducks in the outdoor exhibits before Christmas.
 
Yesterday I went to Beauval, for the first time in 2023.

Some relevant news :
  • the Ruppell's Vultures have been replaced by a single Andean Condor in the aviary near the Northern entrance ;
  • many works in progress : the Chinese pagoda is being repainted (with the closure of the path towards the Steller Sea Eagles' aviary) ; new climbing gear is being installed on the Yellow-breasted Capuchins' island ; also works on the path between the Jaguars and the Sea Lion pool ;
  • one of the two enclosures for Persian Leopards is occupied by a young male Puma (before his departure ?) ;
  • all the Ducks and Geese were off-show (prevention measure against avian influenza) except the resident - and probably wild - Mallards ; nonetheless the Cranes, Storks, Peafowl... remained on sight ;
  • no more Taiwan Beauty Snakes in the Vivarium ;
  • "Juliette" the Giraffe statue has been displaced near the Elephants' cablecar station.
 
In the main vivarium, the Panther Chameleon Furcifer pardalis has been replaced by a Central Fijian Banded Iguana Brachylophus bulabula few days ago.
