    Just realized that I accidentally had a “not” on the sentence when I didn’t mean to. Apologies for the confusion.

    Fresno Chaffee no longer has their Ross's turaco pair.

    San Francisco Zoo no longer has their western plantain-eater but still has their white-cheeked turaco. Never seen their Ross's turaco since I started keeping track.
