Is this the first time they had had 3 Koalas? last week they had both the male and female on display and the keeper I spoke to said that once the male gets comfortable they wanted to try and breed them, I wonder if they plan to breed this new female aswell.
They only have two koalas afaik - male Sydney and the new female Ellin. The female you saw was probably Ellin as they mentioned she was transferred to Palm Beach in the fall itself.

That's most likely the case, I just saw the post on facebook and saw she has been at the zoo for a while already.

Today to my surprise the Siamang family was on the island across from the Mexican Spider Monkeys, The White-Faced Capuchins that lived their prior were sent to Audubon Zoo according to a primate keeper. The rare Robust Tufted Capuchins had been living on the Siamang's old island for over a year and since the Siamang were off-exhibit for almost 2 years I was surprised to find out they still had them.
(a keeper also told me they are hopeful that Api and Kadar their Malayan Tigers have successfully bred, but they won't know for a while)

The zoos website says that the grand opening of the Candace S. & William H. Hamm III Everglades Conservation Center will be tomorrow May 13.
Also, I found online a capital campaign brochure from 2021 for Palm Beach Zoo which has a master plan for new exhibits including an Africa section planned for 2025 and a penguin exhibit, plus many renovations and improvements to existing areas. Is there a chance this is fake and does anyone have updates on any of these projects?

I am a volunteer at PBZ, I can confirm the Africa expansion, however I have not heard anything about Penguins, the only new animals planned are Meerkats, Cheetahs, and Giraffes(which will take over an employee parking lot) New exhibits for the Southern Ground Hornbills, African Cape Porcupines, and Aldabra Giant Tortoises are planned aswell (I am not sure I am allowed to say all this, but if a brochure mentioned it then I guess its fine)

from my visit today it seems that the zoo sadly no longer has Robust Crested Capuchins as both islands had Red-Ruffed Lemurs and both islands were signed for this species. Also it seems the zoo no longer has Rhinoceros Hornbill or Llama as signage for both is now gone. The Rhino hornbill was rotating with the male southern ground hornbill for a while, even though I only saw it once, I know at one point they wanted to bring in a new mate for their last Rhino Hornbill so I guess something changed. While the first former ocelot cage was given to the Black Howlers, the second former Ocelot cage has now been emptied of all its structures and branches. Also the old Three-Banded Armadillo habitat is now home to an unsigned Rainbow Boa in the gift shop by the cafe.
the last new addition was there is now a new shade structure in the Bald Eagle habitat.

The zoo's eight-year-old Lorikeet "Catherine" is missing, and they suspect she may have been stolen. 
She was last seen on April 23rd, but was gone the following day. The zoo suspects that the case may be related to the Goeldi's Monkey that was stolen back in 2019 and was found the following day.

It really angers me that zoos have to deal with this crap, it brings back bad memories of the Dallas Zoo fiasco from last year.The zoo's eight-year-old Lorikeet "Catherine" is missing, and they suspect she may have been stolen.

On May 1st, the zoo announced they moved their Chilean flamingos into the American flamingo exhibit temporarily for an upcoming renovation project.
Baby flamingos? An overnight transformation? A mishap at the flamingo feather factory? You may be wondering why our Florida flamingo habitat has some new residents that don’t exactly look like the rest.In preparation for an upcoming improvement project, we walked the Chilean flamingo (small pink) flock over to their neighboring habitat where the Florida flamingos (tall reddish-orange) live. This is only temporary, but the two species are getting along wonderfully. Come check it out! | Palm Beach Zoo

Hybridisation and cross breeding have been a problem in the past with flamingoes. Mmmm, I would hope it is quite temporary and does not affect their breeding?!!
Both species only have small flocks (Chileans: 9 birds and the American/Floridan ones 19 birds). I do not know anything about past hatchings or breeding histories (I deem both flocks are too small .... and in one case seriously sec imbalanced) at Dreher Park.
