Bird Paradise Bird Paradise news 2024

The pheasant pigeons have been there since last year. Good to see that the bee-eaters have been acclimating well too. I do hope that they can perform live feeding demonstrations at the mock rock cliff .

EDIT: I see that @Zooish has posted a comment on his picture of the carmine bee-eaters that keepers will feed them at around 9.30 a.m

 

Last November, the park also welcomed an American flamingo chick, its first in over 25 years.
The young flamingo is "feeding well" … Mandai said.

In media articles (including Mandai’s), they keep saying there’s only a flamingo chick. Did one of them die recently or it’s just an oversight?

 

The other chick died when it was about a month old.

 

I noticed there are no coconut lorikeets at aussie outback, only at mysterious papua and lory loft, are they off show and are they gna be released soon?

 

I think the Coconuts at Australian Outback got swapped out for Red-collareds.

 

Where did the Black Swan go? bts?

 

In thay case where did the coconut lorikeet subspecies meant for aussie outback go?

 

I don't think they are in the collection as of now

 

the Great Argus have moved from Wings of Asia to Songs of The Forest

i noticed some Yellow-bellied Fruit Doves in Winged Sanctuary. are they new additions?

 

Mandai received new male Great Argus recently so hopefully their fantastic courtship ritual can be better observed at Songs of the Forest.

Do you mean Ptilinopus occipitalis? They have always been in the aviary with the Mindanao Bleeding Hearts.

 

actually the Blue-winged Pitta is still there, i saw it last week. its just unsigned for some reason

also this male Greater Green Leafbird was housed with the Negros Bleeding-hearts. he was shifted to the 12-wired BoP cage as he didnt get along with the doves

 

The greater green leafbird at the 12-wired BOP Cage has died. Theres currently 3 blue-winged pitta at BP, 0.0.1 at Winged Sanctuary and 1.1 at SOF

For argus pheasant 0.2 are still at WOA while 1.1 are at SOF

 

huh, well that was fast. he was extremely active when i saw him last tuesday

Request ID for this bird from Lory Loft, taken on 18 Apr

 

should be a hybrid one

 

One of the parents was Eos reticulata I would say.

 

Hi anyone knows the subspecies of Rhino hornbill held at Winged Sanctuary, zootierliste states that it houses borneoensis and silvestris but i cant tell which is on display

 

From the casque it looks like rhinoceros. The casque of borneoensis curls super tightly at the tip and the casque of silvestris is normally super strait, plus most silvestris in captivity I've seen have more orange casques, although that could just be from lack of preening.

 

The pair are B.r.silvestris.

 

Thanks very much for this. I was quite unsure myself, however after looking at some proper photos of the pair and doing a little bit of researching, I can definitely see the defining features. On a side note, will a pair of them be moved to Rainforest Wild Asia? I saw a pair on the concept art of one of the photos.
