The aviary has been re-landscaped to better mimic the dense swamps the birds are found in the wild. Very nicely done. Great to see another iconic species returning. First Spix and Lears, now Shoebills... I wonder what will be next...
Fantastic! And finally housed in an aviary where they don't need to be wing clipped. Lots more birds to be imported over the next year - they're building new holding cages to cope.
They are by themselves for now, to adjust to the new environment. i was told they will be joined by Hammerkops, Abdim's Storks (new to JBP) and a few ducks
