“Fire-red eyes cut through the dull black darkness, framed by glowing ultramarine. The names of these Southeast Asian tropical animals are just as magical as their appearance: They are called #Elfenblauvogel or # Turquoise Fairy Birds . 🐦 Unfortunately, their magical attraction is doomed to them. Like countless other songbirds, elven- blue birds also fall prey to illegal wild bird catching and trafficking. Therefore, the Leipzig Zoo participates in the@silentforest_campaignthe #EAZA, to support species conservation both ex-situ, ie here in Germany, as well as in-situ, ie locally in Southeast Asia.”
