Birds of Paradise in captivity

"Taken off display" does not mean it isn't still present, however. Jurong and Walsrode would only be listed for half the species they are right now, and ACTP and Al Wabra wouldn't be present on the list at all! That'd give a very deformed view of the current status of the species...

Either way, thanks a lot for all recent updates, everyone!

Just a note, I've left off two institutions for two species as they're off record.

 

San Antonio does not house Red Birds of Paradise any longer. The safari park also has magnificent's housed off display in their avian propagation center.

 

Adventure park in Port Moresby has raggiana bird of paradise. There is a zoo in the village of Lae in Papua New Guinea called the Rainforest habitat that has a collection of birds of paradise, but I do not know what kinds other then perhaps Blue bird of paradise.

 

How recent is this information? Mine is accurate up to Tuesday.

 

NORTH AMERICA:

My info is 2 months old, you win, lol.

 

I thought it was shown that all the Raggiana are non-ssp?

~Thylo

 

I thought this was the case too, but I guess there are just the two left. It is worth noting that the remaining birds in Europe are (according to ZTL) the same subspecies.

 

It's my understanding that the European population is of the same blood as the US one.

~Thylo

 

Yes, it seems they originated from San Diego. They were previously listed as non-ssp on ZTL, I believe, so I wonder what prompted the change. I still think it is feasible for the two pure individuals to be hanging around. It's happened in other populations that are primarily hybridized, such as klipspringers, of which there are a few pure individuals hanging around.

 

Well, it seems there's another holder of superb bird of paradise around:

BIR033-00549 - Joel Sartore

 

Thanks, I figured that it wasn't taken in 2017 but didn't know where to find the correct date. In that case, it still falls within @Vision's 5 year cutoff.

 

Since the last update was in april, and 2 pages worth of updates have been posted since...

Thanks immensely for the help, yet again, everyone! I'm going to try and look into Lae's The Rainforest Habitat to figure out what species they have.

EDIT: not much yet, but Gerben did find this picture of a blue bird-of-paradise in TRH (3. Male Blue Bird Of Paradise [Paradisaea rudolphi], Rainforest Habitat, Lae, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea). We're not sure if it's a wild or captive individual, however.

 

Thanks for creating this thread Vision,whilst I don't have much interest in B of P, but this is a superb thread just wish some of the other species threads were as good as this,instead of turning into a top trumps I have seen this what have you seen thread!!

A true master class in how to do a thread like this!!

 

Thanks! And yeah, The Rainbow Habitat seems to be very elusive. I might be able to find out a bit more about what they keep, however.

Another few additions:
Melaka zoo - red: Red Bird-of-paradise, male
Melaka zoo - lesser: Lesser Bird-of-paradise, male
Melaka zoo - king: King Bird-of-paradise, male
Melaka zoo - twelve-wired: Twelve-wired Bird-of-paradise
Adventure park - lawes's parotia: Parotia lawesii
