Mzuri is only 2, she won’t be 3 until December. Late 2025 is the earliest there would possibly be another infant.
That's correct, I've done the math wrong as Mzuri was born December of 2021 meaning she just turned two.
3.0 Sun Conures have arrived at Rockhampton. The conures have cleared quarantine and been introduced to the zoo's three Blue and Gold Macaws - reported on social media.
I wonder what they will use the empty aviary beside the macaws for. It was the original eagle aviary, but when i visited 2 months agi, keepers were working inside the aviary. Its not planted, but it is quite dark, despite its large size. Another primate could be a possibility.
That aviary was originally built for the macaws and then temporarily used to house Valkyrie the wedge tailed eagle. The macaws moved into the aviary a couple of months ago and now the sun conures are in that aviary too with them. The previous macaw aviary has since been demolished as part of the new entrance construction.
Alon, the zoo's alpha male chimp, and Jerry, the new male from Sydney Zoo, have successfully been introduced to each other and are exhibiting positive bonding behaviours - reported on social media.
Five Frill-necked Lizards have arrived and are now mixed with the new Blotched Bluetongue Lizards. Their exhibit is near the cassowary boardwalk area - reported on their FB page.
