@ Merintina : I visited Zoo Veldhoven ( the formerly Papegaaienpark NOP ) last week and the only Cotingas kept are the pair of Bare-necked fruitcrows.
Thank you for the info Vogelcommando! Is a pity, they had a really nice collection of cotingas... Those Horned Screamers are a great new! Hope they´ll keep some at public view.
New species at Walsode : Brown tinamous Crypturellus obsoletus. These are the only ones on public displaqy in Europe
Are tinamous kept privately in Europe? Is that where these birds originated from, or were they imported?
It seems to me that this species came from the Belgian Cracid Breeding and Conservation Center (CBCC) in Zutendaal. They have a large collection of different species of Cracids, Cranes and Tinamous. Current director of the park in Walsrode is the founder of this Belgian facility.
= Sulawesi knobbed hornbill, Aceros cassidix. There are two hornbills on Sulawesi (formerly Celebes) and the name "Celebes hornbill" has been used for both: Sulawesi knobbed and Sulawesi tarictic. Walsrode has both species.
Two Lesser Adjutant Storks are currently on display. The park also organizes 1-hour behind the scenes tours, paid extra. They take you only to one of several chosen popular birds (owls etc) not to off-show specialities like birds of paradise or hummingbirds.
