Beautifull picture of this rare and endangered species !
A quick look on Zootierliste made me wonder because its only kept in 16 European collection ( from which 9 in the UK ! ). Strangely it's not kept at all in for example Belgium, the Netherlands or in France - countries in which aviculture is quite high developed and I know the species is kept and bred in good numbers in privat collections.
Even stranger is that even Birdpark Walsrode doesn't have it anymore !
