Black winged lories
Old 15-02-2008

I've just found out that Chester conducted the ESB for the black winged lory.
Who now conducts it?
Did Chester ever breed the species?
Where in the zoo were they kept?

London has 1.1 black winged lories now.

Are they breeding?
Have they bred?

Which other european zoos hold the species?

Thanks in Advance!

A chick hatched at Chester in 1997 but it was not reared.

A black-winged lory once licked my finger at London Zoo.

Sorry Hornbill, I missed that when I last replied. They were in the round aviaries next to the bird house. I think they were in the block which is still standing.
