Marabou Stork

Zoo Atlanta - Didn't see them during my trip 01/2022.

 

Does Louisville still have oriental white stork as of 2022? ZooChat has photos of them only from 2012 and I'm wondering if they're still around.

 

It was confirmed in 2018 by a reliable source, I'd be interested if it's still around as well.

 

I'm going tomorrow and will report if I see it or not. I have a sinking feeling not due to the avian flu as well as it technically probably still being in the "low season", but tomorrow will tell.

 

Oriental white stork was not on show at Louisville today, and I will attribute this to bird flu. A sign for it remains at the Aldabra tortoise exhibit. Hopefully things will look up this summer.

 

Yesterday at Zoo Miami I saw the female Black-Necked Stork in her exhibit in between Asian Elephants and Indian Rhinos. I passed by it several times yesterday & Thursday and only saw her once. I believe she's the last one in an AZA facility. Zoo Miami still has Painted Storks inside Wings of Asia as well as a pair of White Storks. I did not see any African Openbill on display inside any aviary in the Africa section.

 

Disney's Animal Kingdom has two Hamerkops as well as two Hornbills (Not sure if they're included on this thread)

 

Hornbills have their own thread .

 

I could of sworn Central Park had Abdim Storks about two-three years ago. Did they die out, or am I mixing it up with a different species?

 

DAK keeps Abdim's Stork and Hamerkop.

DAK Lodge keeps Marabou Stork.

 

As mentioned before, Black-necked Stork is indeed still present in Zoo Miami, while the African Openbill is no longer there, gone for a while now (based on my last visit in May).

Some other additions:

ABDIM'S STORK
NY – Central Park Zoo (confirmed they're still there during revisit)

WOOD STORK
FL – Flamingo Gardens
FL – Zoo Miami

 

Philadelphia and Maryland have European White Stork.

Philadelphia and Zoo Miami no longer have Saddle-billed Stork.

Six Flags Wild Safari keeps Marabou Stork.

Miami does not have Wood Storks in their collection. They are signed wild birds.

 

San Francisco Zoo has a hamerkop again (0.1).

 

I went to Louisville Zoo yesterday and can confirm they still have an oriental stork living with the Aldabra tortoises

 

The Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, & Safari Park keeps Marabou and a lot of Abdim's Storks.

 

I saw a marabou stork at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo in August of 2021. I saw nothing to indicate that they hold black stork, but I might have missed signage for them or maybe they're off-exhibit.
