What happened to the other male?
Not sure but I'm guessing that it died. There were a couple of reports from June this year where people mentioned that they'd only seen 1 burrowing owl.
The Zoo has welcomed five northern bald ibis (also known as Hermit Ibis or Waldrapp Ibis). Three birds arrived from Birdworld, Farnham, Surrey and 2 from Amersfoort in the Netherlands. Five feathered friends - Dudley Zoological Gardens
What has happened to the ones they already had in the awful aviaries by the Otters.
They are still there. These 5 new ones have joined them.
Many thanks for the info
Don't think it has been mentioned yet but the Prevost's squirrels aren't coming any more and nothing is coming in their place. Also, does anyone know what happened to the agoutis in the lorikeet walk through? No sign of them the other day and didn't find any keeper afterwards to ask.

That's upsetting. I thought they'd be a really good addition to the zoo.
Well I'm not really surprised about that TBH, if it wasn't for them demolishing the former Red Squirrel cages and then revamping the area for Black lemurs, then this species would've actually been in the zoo by now....
*sigh* Why do I always get my hopes up about things like this.... I just don't understand myself sometimes.
Also, to answer your question the Agoutis are still in the zoo but they are now in the aviary opposite the Sea Lions.
The Patagonian mara twins born on September 2nd are a boy and girl; they've been named Maximo and Maisy.

To those who have visited in the last few months, did you see the new structure next to the entrance of the lemur walkthrough that I described in my visit report on 4th Nov?
"made of green corrugated metal and about the size of a double garage"
Anyone know what it is or have any ideas of what it might be?
