Burgers' Zoo free-ranging species in Burgers Bush, Desert and Mangrove

I created this according to @Timmiegun 's observations, I hope to visit Burgers Zoo as soon as possible to see for myself

If you guys could give me some feedback about how accurate it is I'll upload it to the Burgers Zoo Gallery. I'm also making one for desert

 

Just saying I have not seen the red-eared slider in a while. So there is a chance of those not being around anymore. They started with 3. Had one last summer, but idk if they are still in. Feisty boi

 

I'm fairly certain I saw them laying around on the sandbank bordering the mudflats in a recent video by burgers zoo. I'll check if I can find it

 

I believe they recently said, don't remember when and where, that the turtles were indeed gone.

 

I couldn't find the video, were they removed or did they pass away/get sick?

 

Number 1 and 2 were removed due to the third being extremely territorial. No clue where number 3 is.

 

According to ZooTierListe, the scaled quails are kept both free-roaming and seperated in Canyon, but ZTL isn't always accurate. Can we get a confirmation on that?

 

I believe removed due to being too territorial, even against the manatees.

 

That was a hilarious video

 

Last I heard the scaled quails were all gone from the zoo...

 

They still have at least one from what I’ve heard.

 

For anyone wondering what we're talking about:

 

I did a little research and holy ****, Desert is full of rarities!

I already knew that the Ringtail and California bighorn sheep were rarities in Europe (Ringtail: Only one on mainland Europe. California bighorn sheep: Only one other zoos in Czech republic)

Apparently, the Gambel's quail, Rose-bellied bunting, Lawrence goldfinch, AND Yellow grosbeak are all unique in Europe!

 

Would be surprised if that is the case, source?, end of last year they still had 2.2, they did transfer 7 chicks to a private keeper recently according to de Harpij.

 

@Timmiegun Could you maybe see if you can find the white-winged dove in Mangrove on your next stroll? I saw them high up in a palm-like tree in an older Burgers Zoo video, I believe in D2 near the exit but I don't know if they still like to hang out there. Maybe, with luck, you can also pin down an observation of the crested bobwhite (As well as some other observation updates)

if we can place them we have all the birds and I can upload it to the gallery

 

Also: What are the exact species in the Canyon of Desert

We also still need lawrence's goldfinch and Ultramarine grosbeak

 

Alright, here's the current desert map.

Based on @Timmiegun 's Observations as well as some gallery searches

 

I'll be visiting Burger's zoo in a few weeks, then I'll add my own observations too

 

Burgers zoo has recently released a few videos as seen from the canopy of the bush, where you can often see the hornbills sitting on the exact same branches, does anyone know where these are located?

 

In the 'live video' the cherry picker (as how it's called in english I believe) was placed between the otter enclosure and rice paddies. So somewhere around there.
