New species at Walsode : Brown tinamous Crypturellus obsoletus. These are the only ones on public displaqy in Europe
Are tinamous kept privately in Europe? Is that where these birds originated from, or were they imported?
They are in private hands to some degree, so I assume this is where these animals derive from.
It seems to me that this species came from the Belgian Cracid Breeding and Conservation Center (CBCC) in Zutendaal. They have a large collection of different species of Cracids, Cranes and Tinamous. Current director of the park in Walsrode is the founder of this Belgian facility.

2 Celebes hornbills have left the nest
= Sulawesi knobbed hornbill, Aceros cassidix.
There are two hornbills on Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) and the name "Celebes hornbill" has been used for both: Sulawesi knobbed and Sulawesi tarictic. Walsrode has both species.
Two Lesser Adjutant Storks are currently on display.
The park also organizes 1-hour behind the scenes tours, paid extra. They take you only to one of several chosen popular birds (owls etc) not to off-show specialities like birds of paradise or hummingbirds.
