Hello there,
I have spoken to one of my old colleagues from my days at Winged World as a keeper ,and have asked him for some more information regarding stock lists.He's got a far better memory than I,and will ,in due course let me have as extensive list of species as he can recall.This may take a little time but the wheels are in motion so to speak! He's also done a very detailed scale drawing of the layout of the building,showing everything in terms of enclosures,rooms and in very fine detail.we hope to be able to find a way of posting this in due course,and of course I would love to hear from anyone who has any photos,recolllections,memorabilia etc to do with Winged World and the Childrens Zoo.Many thanks.

Looking forward to this. I never visited, but have read breeding reports in the Avicultural Magazine. They did some good stuff.

Fascinating stuff, envious of the Painted Bush Quail. We breed Jungle Bush Quail here, but I’ve never seen Painted. None in the U.K. now as far I know.

Just checked, no European Zoo has Painted, no U.K. zoo has Jungle
