A first-breeding for Karlsruhe and a second egg still being incubated
I wonder if and by how far the new management had anything to do with this?! Anyway, a great development and much needed for maintaining this attractive smaller flamingo species in Europe (hope we are finally cracking the eggs ... with the recent hatchings here and there).

OK, did not know that.
Anything down to bird husbandry or management?
What sex/age ratio do they have?
