Chester Zoo Chester Zoo News 2023

Does anyone know the ages of the chimps ar Chester? Could someone fill in the gaps?
I thought there was 21 but i can only name 17 The current list I've got is as follows;

Mandy - 0:1 born 1977
Alice - 0:1 born 1992
ZeeZee -0:1 15/02/1994 Mandy's daughter
Tina - 0:1 born February 2009 ZeeZee's daughter
Eric -
Carlos -
Chrissy -
Pattie -
Villa -
Boris - 1:0 54yrs(but this was a couple of years ago)
Stevie - 0:1 born June 2018 ZeeZee's daughter
Annie - 0:1 born July 2019 Alice's daughter
Friday 1:0 44yrs(again a few years since I worked this out)
Nick
Dylan
Sally
Sarah
 
Boris is coming up to 57 this year that's what a keeper told me

Toyah - mandy's daughter 2 years old born in August 2020

Sally I think is around 34

Rosie ( Sally's mum ) is around 49 or 50 because according to the name board that has been taken down by the way said she was born in 1973

Sarah is in her late 30s I think

And while we're on the topic of the chimps does anyone know what happened to the following

Heidi
Halfpenny
Rihannon
Dido
Whitney
Kan kan
Lizzie
Donna
Jethro
Kiki
 
By the way: chimp lady MEG, who live in Chester from 1950 to 2000, had 19 babys there, only 5 survived longer than 5 years.

3 collared trogon chicks have hatched at the zoo! Apparently, Chester is the only zoo in the world that is currently breeding this species.

Fantastic news, I had no idea they were the only zoo breeding the species. ZTL lists 3 other holders (London, Prague, Walsrode) and I assume they are non-breeding populations if so.
 
London received a pair of Collared Trogons from Chester last year, probably to young to breed .
