I´m not sure if it belongs into this thread. I found this bit of info in latest press release of Prague zoo: "... Mother of the chicks [means the 3 newest chicks of Little Pied Cormorant at Prague zoo in June 2018] hatched in year 2004 in the country of origin at Healesville Sanctuary in Australia. Father has been bred at Parc du Oiseaux in Villars les Dombes.“
I noticed this hasn't been mentioned, but the pair of Goodfellow's tree kangaroos have a joey at the moment.
