Stork, crane and ibis aviary (April 19th, 2015)

Nice aviary containing a pair of white storks (Ciconia ciconia), white-naped cranes (Grus vipio) and hadada ibisses (Bostrychia hagedash).

How many crane species are at this zoo? Maybe six or seven? I like the look of many of the enclosures for the large bird species.

I've counted them and with the recent addition of the Brolga, the Olmense Zoo has nine species of crane (Grey crowned, Sarus (Indian & Australian), Common, Red-crowned/Japanese, Black-necked, Brolga, White-naped, Demoiselle and Blue/Stanley). That is quite a collection of cranes- of the zoos I have visited, second only to Vogelpark Walsrode (Pairi Daiza does have a lot of cranes as well, but not as many species as Olmen). I really like the large bird enclosures (cranes, storks, herons, raptors) as too, they are nice enclosures.Unfortunately many of the smaller birds aren't as lucky at the Olmense Zoo.

Thanks for all of the information in regards to Olmense Zoo. On a side note, in the summer of 2014 I visited the International Crane Foundation in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A., and saw all 15 species of crane at that facility.
