Beale Wildlife Park....Rufous Vented Laughing Thrush;)

Is that the really old pair of Laughingthrushes that appear to be past breeding? Beale once had many species of Laughingthrush and bred a lot of them

Potentially. Apparently the only place with them though.

The animals were sourced from a private collection, a pair of animals which bred. The original pair and all but one male of the off-spring have passed on due to old age already[!], though one male survives today.
The collection is also the only public collection in the UK which has Tristram's Jird.

Where have you heard this? Wild Place list Gallicolumba Crinigera as the species they will be having according to their species plan https://www.wildplace.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Species-Plan-BZS-compressed.pdf

Gallicolumba Keayi is the species you mention, and that is not mentioned anywhere on that species list, and is not held in Europe.

They are coming from Singapore. Bristol has worked with Negros Bleeding Heart Doves in the wild.

I was thinking that either they would come from there or they would work with the Filipino government and breed some from the wild or from singapore

Are they definitely coming to Bristol, or is this just confirmation that Bristol will continue supporting wild and captive populations in the Philippines?A stunning species, and sufficiently different from criniger and luzonica to be worth having in our zoos.
