Last weekend my second visit to Landgoed Hoenderdaell.Here some obsevations and notes from this visit : Young animals : 2 almost full-grown young by the Red-crowned cranes ( see Young Red-crowned crane | ZooChat ) 1 hand-raised Crowned crane ( see Young Crowned crane | ZooChat ) at least one young Golden-headed lion tamarin several young Scarlet ibisses ( see Young Scarlet ibis | ZooChat ) Further seen a lot of species which are not mentioned for this collection on Zootierliste : - Tamandua in the Tropical House ( Tamandua | ZooChat ) - Six-banded armadillo - at least 3 specimens seen in the Tropical House ( see Six-banded armadillo | ZooChat ) - Red fox - 1 specimen ( see Red fox | ZooChat ) - Emerald glossy starling - 1 specimen seen free-flying in the Tropical House ( not signed ) ( see Emerald glossy starling | ZooChat ) - Napoleon bishop - a nice group of this species in one of the outdoor-aviaries of the Bird-house ( see Napoleon bishop | ZooChat ) - Yellow-billed stork - A bird which was wild-caught in the Netherlands ( escaped ) which found a new home at Hoenderdaell in one of the large outdoor-aviaries ( see Yellow-bill | ZooChat ) - Blackbuck - 2 males seen and althrough it was already mentioned earlier in this thread, it still is not mentioned on Zootierliste..... ( see Blackbuck | ZooChat ) -Steller's sea-eagle - 2 seen in a huge aviary at the new bird-of prey complex ( see Enclosure Steller's sea-eagle | ZooChat ) - White-tailed sea-eagle - also already mentioned earlier in this thread but still not on Zootierliste - kept in a large aviary at the Bird-of-prey complex ( see White-tailed sea-eagle | ZooChat ) - Black kite - small group at the Bird of prey complex ( see Black kites | ZooChat ) - Southern ground-hornbill - 3 very young birds in an aviary at the bird-of prey complex ( see Young Southern ground-hornbill | ZooChat ) - Southern crested caracara - at the bird of prey complex ( see Southern crested caracara | ZooChat ) - Red-tailed hawk - at the Bird of prey complex ( see Red-tailed hawk | ZooChat ) Of the rare species kept at Hoenderdaell I only saw one Golden-necked cassowary althrough there are 2 enclosures. The gate between the 2 enclosures was opened so I'm affraid there is only one bird left - or maybe ( hopefully ) the other bird was in one of the sheds. ( see Golden-necked cassowary | ZooChat ) Of the second species kept only at Hoenderdaell in an European public collection - the Green jungle-fowl I also was able to see only 1 specimen - a female was free-ranging in the Tropical House and altrough I searched for some time to find a male I didn't found it. There are however several good hidding-places here so here also possible that there is a second bird ( see Green jungle-fowl - female | ZooChat ) Species mentioned on Zootierliste which I was not able to find - due to the cold weather maybe housed in inside - not public areas - were: Red-faced liocichla Livingstone's touraco Hartlaub touraco
3 new female lions arrived from Germany. At Landgoed Hoenderdaell a big Predator-sanctuary is housed ( "Stichting Leeuw" ) and here the 3 new females will be housed.
