yeah that website is a new one but i think we may be getting another new one. the tapir was moved on last year and i think she is now at noahs ark?
the penguin pool is the main job at the moment and its become quite a job. jobs to be completed by easter are meant to be 1. peguin pool and walk way 2. red river hogs enclouser and walk way 3. avairy next to river hogs (unsure of species intended) 4. open billed stork pen 5. new black necked crane pen 6. asian sarus crane pen other jobs started but no due date are 1. african section (extentsion to exisiting park) unsure of species intended 2. large walkthrough avairy where the brook flows through the park intened species included ibis and spoonbills i will see if i can get a upto date stocklist and post it up Last edited by bloodycurtus; 13-01-2008 at 08:46 AM.

That would be great!
Why is there a new Black necked Crane pan? They've only just got their current one. Are you thinking of making a guidebook?

As one of the member`s who visited yesterday,i will say thanks for your time spent talking to yourself and collegue when you showed us round your new penguin exhibit,having seen it in the state its in at present it should take Blackbrook into a whole new level of exhibit and build project as its on a totaly different scale of build to anything that been done their before,as ever the collection is great always something different to see,but please can you get the labels sorted on some of the ducks and geese particularly the Canada Geese as you have at least 3 different species of them.

The Sentinel of 3rd January published an article about the penguin pool, together with a picture of the uncompleted enclosure.
8 penguins are coming from Germany in time for Easter, with other bird species added later. The reporter claims that Blackbrook has the biggest aviary in Britain, and one of the largest in Europe. One visitor thought the penguins would be an improvement and she also wanted a better children's play area. Another visitor liked the meerkats and believed the penguins would bring in more visitors. Charlotte Atkins MP for Staffordshire Moorlands said that Blackbrook had a good record in animal husbandry and that the park was an excellent educational centre for schools. I agree with zoogiraffe. The labelling could be better. I'm still trying to identify my Canada geese pictures which were taken in July 2007. |

£500,000 for the penguin exhibit - that's a hell of a lot of money for a zoo your size! I hope it gives the desired boost to your visitor numbers. What other penguin species are being considered in addition to Humboldt?

"Initially introducing eight Humboldt penguins, zookeepers will look to bring more breeds in once the birds settle." I thought you were one of those zookeepers - or are you being cryptic?
