New species in the birdhouse: Two cut-throat finches (
Amadina fasciata) now live together with the gouldian finches etc. A pair arrived from a private source.
Moreover, there is also a new pair of crested quail-doves (
Geotrygon versicolor) in the free-flight hall again after a short break.
The aviary that used to house the red-legged seriemas is being rebuilt at the moment, the seriemas are behind the scenes.
The expanded takin enclosure is supposed to be officially opened on June 16th. A takin bull will hopefully arrive then, and after he gets accustomed, the first goral should arrive later this year.
