Nice picture of this very rare bird, thanks for sharing Deer Forest !
At the end of the 1980-ties we had a small group of keepers from Beijing at Walsrode to show them the skills of hand-raising ibisses.
Howmany Crested ibisses are kept at the zoo at the moment ?

Only one pair on exhibit now, but I'm sure there are more. 3 chicks were hatched last year, and the parents are nesting again this year.
Large breeding base has been established in Shanxi province, their natural habitat, and Beijing Zoo don't play the major role of crested ibis breeding now.
