At the Lory Loft, there was a pheasant pigeon and the keeper specified it’s the Green-naped Pheasant

The pheasant pigeons have been there since last year. Good to see that the bee-eaters have been acclimating well too. I do hope that they can perform live feeding demonstrations at the mock rock cliff :).

EDIT: I see that @Zooish has posted a comment on his picture of the carmine bee-eaters that keepers will feed them at around 9.30 a.m

Last November, the park also welcomed an American flamingo chick, its first in over 25 years.
The young flamingo is "feeding well" … Mandai said.

In media articles (including Mandai’s), they keep saying there’s only a flamingo chick. Did one of them die recently or it’s just an oversight?

The other chick died when it was about a month old.

Mandai received new male Great Argus recently so hopefully their fantastic courtship ritual can be better observed at Songs of the Forest.

Do you mean Ptilinopus occipitalis? They have always been in the aviary with the Mindanao Bleeding Hearts.

2 updates from Winged Sanc:

1) Blue-winged Pitta, Crested Pigeon and Wonga Pigeon are missing

2)i saw this bird that's now living in the 12-wired BoP cage. can anyone confirm if this is a Greater/Lesser Green Leafbird?
Click to expand...
actually the Blue-winged Pitta is still there, i saw it last week. its just unsigned for some reason

also this male Greater Green Leafbird was housed with the Negros Bleeding-hearts. he was shifted to the 12-wired BoP cage as he didnt get along with the doves

From the casque it looks like rhinoceros. The casque of borneoensis curls super tightly at the tip and the casque of silvestris is normally super strait, plus most silvestris in captivity I've seen have more orange casques, although that could just be from lack of preening.

The pair are B.r.silvestris.

Thanks very much for this. I was quite unsure myself, however after looking at some proper photos of the pair and doing a little bit of researching, I can definitely see the defining features. On a side note, will a pair of them be moved to Rainforest Wild Asia? I saw a pair on the concept art of one of the photos.
