It’s release time for our young corvids!

After growing up under our care, our latest group of corvids is ready for release. They are currently in our pre-release aviary awaiting a final veterinary sign off, but all being well they will be back in the wild in just a few days time.

We will keep you posted!

the king vulture, the most colorful of the vultures:

the bearded vulture…utterly huge, with a diet that consists of mostly bones:

even if you don’t like vultures, you can’t deny the lesser yellow-headed vulture is adorable…

and the egyptian vulture…just as beautiful…

The shoebill, also known as the whalehead, is a large, stork-like bird distinguished by its huge, shoe-like bill. While it was once believed to belong to the stork family, recent genetic evidence has proven that it is actually more closely related to the pelicans.

Hooded Crow

The hooded crow, with its contrasted greys and blacks, cannot be confused with either the carrion crow or rook. Except for the head, throat, wings, tail, and thigh feathers, which are black and mostly glossy, the plumage is ash-grey, the dark shafts giving it a streaky appearance. The bill and legs are black; the iris dark brown. Widely distributed, it is also known locally as Scotch crow and Danish crow. In Ireland it is called grey crow, just as in the Slavic languages and in Danish. In German it is called “mist crow” (“Nebelkrähe”). Found across Northern, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, as well as parts of the Middle East.
