Burgers' Zoo free-ranging species in Burgers Bush, Desert and Mangrove

Mangrove.png

I created this according to @Timmiegun 's observations, I hope to visit Burgers Zoo as soon as possible to see for myself

If you guys could give me some feedback about how accurate it is I'll upload it to the Burgers Zoo Gallery. I'm also making one for desert

Just saying I have not seen the red-eared slider in a while. So there is a chance of those not being around anymore. They started with 3. Had one last summer, but idk if they are still in. Feisty boi

I'm fairly certain I saw them laying around on the sandbank bordering the mudflats in a recent video by burgers zoo. I'll check if I can find it

I believe they recently said, don't remember when and where, that the turtles were indeed gone.

The Gambel's Quails are currently completely free-roaming, it is the Scaly Quails that have been confined to the canyon as far as I am aware (the Mexican House Finch are also only kept in the Canyon and if there are no surplus animals the same is true for the Socorro Doves). The Gambel's Quails do however often hang around the canyon area, but they can be seen throughout most of the hall.

According to ZooTierListe, the scaled quails are kept both free-roaming and seperated in Canyon, but ZTL isn't always accurate. Can we get a confirmation on that?
 
I did a little research and holy ****, Desert is full of rarities!

I already knew that the Ringtail and California bighorn sheep were rarities in Europe (Ringtail: Only one on mainland Europe. California bighorn sheep: Only one other zoos in Czech republic)

Apparently, the Gambel's quail, Rose-bellied bunting, Lawrence goldfinch, AND Yellow grosbeak are all unique in Europe!
 
@Timmiegun Could you maybe see if you can find the white-winged dove in Mangrove on your next stroll? I saw them high up in a palm-like tree in an older Burgers Zoo video, I believe in D2 near the exit but I don't know if they still like to hang out there. Maybe, with luck, you can also pin down an observation of the crested bobwhite (As well as some other observation updates)

if we can place them we have all the birds and I can upload it to the gallery
 
Also: What are the exact species in the Canyon of Desert

We also still need lawrence's goldfinch and Ultramarine grosbeak

Burgers zoo has recently released a few videos as seen from the canopy of the bush, where you can often see the hornbills sitting on the exact same branches, does anyone know where these are located?

In the 'live video' the cherry picker (as how it's called in english I believe) was placed between the otter enclosure and rice paddies. So somewhere around there.
