Bioparc Zoo de Doué la Fontaine News from Zoo de Doue

It took them some time with black rhino too, let's hope the the owl-faced guenon will also become a success at some point.

I wonder if Doué keeping 1.1 only is the issue. Based on current holdings, the zoos breeding them always keep at least three individuals.

Actually several zoos (Antwerp, Mulhouse, Leipzig, possibly more as others started with multiple males and one female and unrelated males are probably kept separate or in bachelor groups) that breed them had pairs when breeding started.
 
News for 2023 :
- 4 new species will arrive this spring in the african dry aviary : eurasian hoopoe, green woodhoopoe, snowy-crowned robin-chat and white headed buffalo- weaver.
With these new species, the small walkthrough aviary will be even better and a real highlight for zoo nerds !
All these species are on show now with the following numbers :
- 0.1.2 eurasian hoopoes (two chicks this year and the death of the breeding male),
- 3.0 green woodhoopoes,
- 1.0 white-headed buffalo weaver (females coming soon),
- 1.1 snowy-crowned robin-chats.
And addition of 3.2 Bruce's green pigeons.
Other news the 2 pairs of european bee-eaters are nesting.
