I believe the Greater Flamingo chicks/juveniles are from the show flock. They are quite prolific breeders.

Speaking of chicks, anyone aware of the whereabouts of the Saddlebill Eggs? The female is not guarding anything from my visit today.
And away from chicks, Songs of the Forest seems to be holding a female Wrinkled Hornbill, a seperate individual from the one at Winged Sanctuary. Unexpected sighting for today.

I believe the keepers removed the Saddlebill eggs as they did not hatch (probably infertile). Did you happen to see if the Wattled Crane egg was still at the nest?
And yes the park has a second female Wrinkled Hornbill (but still no male yet). Glad to see she might be on display soon.

Not the egg itself but the female Wattled Crane was still in the same spot nesting, so it's likely still there

Has the secretary bird been incorporated to the shows? Or it will take a while for new show species to be showcased?
Probably will take a while (maybe half a year or more). I believe she is still a young bird.
In addition to that, other birds are still undergoing conditioning and training to be shown in Predators on wings. The Andean condor and Striated caracara are still in the process of training so they may take priority first before the Secretary bird.
Surprised to hear that they have a striated caracara! As for the Andean condor, is it a female named Mildred? Hope to see those 2 raptors in the show down the line
There are supposedly 2.0 Striated Caracaras and 0.2 Andean Condors at the park.

Another few small updates:
1. 2 Bar-shouldered doves have been moved into Australian Outback
2. 1.1.1 each of Turquoise Tanagers and Silver-beaked Tanagers have been moved to the Golden-shouldered Parrot aviary at Winged Sanctuary.
3. 0.2 Goldie’s lorikeet have been moved to the Negros bleeding-heart aviary. Mysterious Papua no longer houses the species.
4. Splendid starling is believed to be dead.

What does the fourth digit represent?
If you ignore the number 2 at the start, it is meant to be 1.1.1. One male, one female and one unknown sex.
The male Wrinkled hornbill has been introduced to the female and now shares the entire aviary with her from today.
Can you provide us a list of what hornbill species are now maintained at the Mandai Reserves and Bird Paradise....????
NOTA BENE: I still have fond memories of the old Hornbill Aviaries with 10-12 different species all with breeding pairs and the like....
