birds

From May 2022 Trip Can anyone guess the birds?

Hello, everyone. I have recently realized no thread has been made to discuss about mixed-species exhibits with wildebeest in them. I was wondering, does any zoo hold them with birds such as marabou and saddle-billed storks or ground hornbills? Also, are they mixed anywhere with Nile lechwe...

How the 15-year old experience of European zoos in vaccination of birds against avian influenza could help poultry industry and wild bird conservation against future outbreaks. Grippe aviaire : le virus change son rythme saisonnier (The source article is in French)

Bird of the Year ‹ Forest & Bird The Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society’s annual New Zealand “Bird of the Year” contest is active! This year, it is encouraged to vote for some selected “underbirds”, less popular species in imminent need of conservation help. The New Zealand Long-tailed...

I was thinking about how over the last year or so there's been temporary long-term closures of outdoor bird exhibits in the fall and spring seasons during migration and how facilities don't want to risk their birds catching avian flu. Since many visitors enjoy birds and some even travel to...

Took this at omaha henry doorly zoo

Visited the place recently and my, it will be sad to see this place close down :oops: Anyways, I've compiled this whole list, mostly from what was signed there so if there are any unsigned species/outdated signage, do tell me :) Don't have any off-show species listed aside from show animals yet...

Red Collared Widow Bird at Topeka zoo

Hi all! Today I took a trip to a lesser-known facility but one that I'm a huge fan of and have visited a handful of times. This facility is a beautiful campus full of maintained forest and fields that provide a home for native species of reptiles, insects, birds, mammals, and everything else...

Hey all, Since I have been to Cyprus a fair few times now in just about every time of year, I figured I'd write up a guide on visiting the place, with extra info on zoos and on birding. It's quite long so I've split it into the relevant sections to make it more manageable to read. Hopefully if...

One of the resident spotted dikkop got easily startled when the Amazonian motmot came by to grab something to eat.

This is a thread about zoo birds, not wild birds living on zoo grounds. Several zoos in Europe keep free-flying colonies of White Storks, which partially helped recovery of this species in Western Europe in the late 20. century. Are there any other examples when zoos established colonies of...

This was my first visit to what I call the main San Diego Zoo. I also did the behind-the-scenes tour, hoping to see some species that were off exhibit. Like with the San Diego Safari Park post, I will post species I saw and those that were listed but didn't get to see. Below is the list of...

Hello everyone: This is my first post on here. I'm an inveterate bird nerd, and I've always enjoyed going to zoos. My intense interest in zoos and their bird collections didn't start to intensify until after an avicultural conference in Miami in 2019. Since then, I've been keeping myself...

After seeing a video about mynas, I just realized. I never saw them in any big walktrough aviary or rainforest halls, and I can't realy see a real reason not to keep them in them. Are there any in this type of exclosure, and maybe besides obvious birds, like large birds of prey, are there any...
