I am able to visit the Vogelpark Avifauna finally this friday. My question us when is the pampa exhibit finished. It says it still is not open.

Last week when I went, it still said there would be started in 2020, but no progress seems to be made. (Still the same enclosures as my visit in 2019). So do not get your hopes up

Tbh, the guanoas would be just some added dlavor. While screamers are one of my fav birds, and I only saw them once.

You're extra lucky then. The screamers at avifauna also have five chicks at the moment.

Good news! The female southern cassowary is currently breeding in her outside enclosure. A rope has been put around the viewing window to make sure she doesn't get mobbed

You mean male cassowary.

Do male cassowaries hatch the eggs?

Yes, female cassowary is greater and heavier in the pair and leaves eggs after they are laid. Male cassowary is smaller and he incubates eggs and tends to chicks.

Damn, really? I thought it was the other way around

In that case, the male southern cassowary in Avifauna is incubating an egg
