tody

Walsrode and Wuppertal are the only collections I´m aware of which kept todies. The group at Walsrode was wild-caught by the park itself on Jamaica around 1987 and consited of young birds taken out the nest. Some breeding-attemps were made but none succesfully.

      Great species. Too bad I never managed to see it in Walsrode -- just like the imperial amazon. This young tody almost looks like a female manakin!

      Which of the two Tody taxa is this a photograph of?

      Why do you say two Tody taxa? Wikipedia says there are five tody species. And that only one, the Jamaican Tody (Todus todus), is found in Jamaica. :confused:

      I am given to understand there were two taxa held by Walsrode at the same time :) although they were the two Hispaniolan taxa.

      So either this is a third one, or vogelcommando didn't mean Jamaica.

      Sorry, my mistake. The Todies seem to have been catched on Hispaniola, on which 2 species are found. I'm not sure which of the species is on the photo because we only discovered having 2 species when the birds became adult.
      Just found also a nice video-clip of a closely releated species, the Puerto Rican tody :
