Cotton Pygmy Goose (Nettapus coromandelianus)

The recently acquired breeding pair have been added to the "Malawi" exhibit (former African Dwarf Crocodile exhibit which now houses an incoherent mix of Malawi Cichlids, Violet Turacos, Von Der Decken's Hornbills and Ringed Teals..). Pictured is the female.
 
Cool new duck. The WRS parks have a good collection of waterfowl, well except for swans
 
Realised that the entire "Malawi" exhibit has been completely stripped of birds, with the violet turacos and Von Der Decken hornbills going to River Gems, the ringed teals going to Crimson Wetlands and the Cotton Pygmy Goose going to Songs of the Forest. Will the exhibit remain as a pure fish exhibit as of now?
 
Hope they bring back the dwarf crocodile or at least some African animal. Does anyone know why they moved out all the birds?
 
I suppose the birds were never meant to be a long term display. They were just finding suitable exhibits to hold the birds until Bird Paradise was ready. Hopefully they bring back the Dwarf Crocodile.
