If i'm not mistaken, there are only 2 male Wilson's at Jurong. This species has never been bred at the park before.

I don't have any pics, but below is a link to the most comprehensive Jurong photo collection i've ever come across. There's a pic of Wilson's BoP.

I don't know the photographer but he sure is good! He literally took years to build up the bird catalogue. I discovered the site about 3 years ago and he adds new pictures regularly, although the pace has slowed considerably of late.

As I heard, Those bornean peacock-pheasants are from a private breeder in Singapore area. I have no more infos on that.

Else, here are some of my Wilson's bird of Paradise pics from my last visits at Jurong BirdPark (September '06) :









You can find many more Jurong Bird Park pics on my website...

They had four males at that time.
You can use them if you mention my name and website's URL.
