Unfortunately there’s no room, they are already bringing some of the small mammals over due to family structures. They needed room in order to house several family groups at the zoo. In order for more mammals to move they need to build onto the primates of the world building or down size their collection.
Why flight impaired, it is a management technique not popularly practised in Europe where offspring from the breeding program are more or less destined for release with a few birds retained for the program. Output is less compared to bearded or griffons as their husbandry and getting them to breed is more complex. So, why impair birds here with pinioning?
I don't know the full details, but the enclosure the vultures are kept in has no top. If they weren't pinioned, they would fly away.
The one where they have the juveniles in has no top. However at least the one where they have a breeding pair did have a top on the enclosure.
Where in the zoo? Is this a new enclsoure? Or bts?
From Impala Plains? What is even that exhibit right now (Impala Plains I mean, not the savanna).
the savannah yard needs more hoofstock
The watering hole that’s below the lions and hyenas, currently they have water bucks, zebras, and greater kudu. They filled the pond in the enclosure so the Marabou stork should be coming out any day now, once the weather is warm enough.
She came from Pittsburgh in 2016, and she was only 4 years old at the time so I'd assume Pittsburgh? Not 100% sure on that though
Not sure but most likely no. They are about to rebuild the rhino exhibit and while that is happening they are probably sending her out and not returning. Though this is what a zoo keeper did say but things change.
