Zoo de La Palmyre News from La Palmyre

A young female Southern Ground Hornbill came recently to La Palmyre, to be paired with the male already present.
This 2-years old female hornbill has hatched in Zoo Olomouc. She was hand-reared by keepers wearing costume of an adult ground hornbill to not impring her on humans but on birds of her own species.After she could feed herself alone, she was given back to her family (parents and older sibling) that accepted her. Nice to see she now created a pair with a male hornbill.
