    1.0 Jambu Fruit Dove (Ramphiculus jambu) hatched in December.
    1.0 Yellow-breasted Fruit Dove (R. occipitalis) hatched at the beginning of February.
    (Both species are now very rare in European zoos, each being kept in only a couple of German collections)

    I once read about a research that stated that sarcasm was a sign of high intelligence, which would mean your IQ would really be incredibly high!
