    Great news! I wonder whether wild condors can raise two chicks? I guess somebody else thought about this too.

    My guess is that it would take a vulture restaurant type set up of supplemental feeding.
    The best condor news is that starting in July, lead shot is outlawed in California and it didn't really seem it got a lot of resistance so that's a positive sign that eventually people will stop using it in California and then spreads from there.

    I didn't know the zoo keeps (kept?) Pied Bushchat.

    They may have originated from a customs seizure of Asian birds; I remember that the zoo had a particularly large influx of rare birds from such a seizure in the last couple of years.

    They did and that is likely where they came from. It's a shame most of those species never made it on-exhibit.

    Why is this so difficult? Don't zoos world-wide cooperate to keep human-care populations going?

    I was surprised to read that Denise Verret is the very first African-American Zoo Director of an AZA zoo in history. Wow! Considering how many female employees are at AZA zoos, it has certainly taken a long time for such an event to occur. It is great news, and she has been at the zoo a long time and is deserving of her status as Zoo Director.

    There are very few mountain tapirs in zoos anywhere.
