Does Louisville still have oriental white stork as of 2022? ZooChat has photos of them only from 2012 and I'm wondering if they're still around.
It was confirmed in 2018 by a reliable source, I'd be interested if it's still around as well.
I'm going tomorrow and will report if I see it or not. I have a sinking feeling not due to the avian flu as well as it technically probably still being in the "low season", but tomorrow will tell.

Oriental white stork was not on show at Louisville today, and I will attribute this to bird flu. A sign for it remains at the Aldabra tortoise exhibit. Hopefully things will look up this summer.
Yesterday at Zoo Miami I saw the female Black-Necked Stork in her exhibit in between Asian Elephants and Indian Rhinos. I passed by it several times yesterday & Thursday and only saw her once. I believe she's the last one in an AZA facility. Zoo Miami still has Painted Storks inside Wings of Asia as well as a pair of White Storks. I did not see any African Openbill on display inside any aviary in the Africa section.

Miami does not have Wood Storks in their collection. They are signed wild birds.

I went to Louisville Zoo yesterday and can confirm they still have an oriental stork living with the Aldabra tortoises
