Jurong Bird Park Wilson's bird of Paradise At Jurong birdpark

[Writhedhornbill]

I have seen pictures of this species at Jurong and Wondered, How many do they have? and have they bred them?

Maybe ask Zooish hes in the know in that area

If i'm not mistaken, there are only 2 male Wilson's at Jurong. This species has never been bred at the park before.

Thanks zooish, do you have any pictures? I've only seen one good one

 

[Zooish]

I don't have any pics, but below is a link to the most comprehensive Jurong photo collection i've ever come across. There's a pic of Wilson's BoP.

I don't know the photographer but he sure is good! He literally took years to build up the bird catalogue. I discovered the site about 3 years ago and he adds new pictures regularly, although the pace has slowed considerably of late.

Do you know where he took the picture of the Bornean peacock pheasant? They are absolutly gorgeous.

As I heard, Those bornean peacock-pheasants are from a private breeder in Singapore area. I have no more infos on that.

Else, here are some of my Wilson's bird of Paradise pics from my last visits at Jurong BirdPark (September '06) :

You can find many more Jurong Bird Park pics on my website...

Thanks, How many did they have at the park?
Can I use those pictures on my site? You would be mentioned of course.

 

[Pedro]

They had four males at that time.
You can use them if you mention my name and website's URL.
