Thanks for this. It is exactly the kind of thing the curators should be doing more of, introducing new stock, especially into areas where the...
I should hope so, that’s basically a small/medium sized bird aviary! Shockingly poor in 2024!!
I believe that Chester & Jersey, rightly dominate this conversation. Personally, I hate to see Orangs slumped on the floor, often concrete,...
