Our Secretary Bird chicks are growing up fast, and have been joined by a third chick!

Our two oldest chicks, hatched August this year, are walking and 'flying' around with great enthusiasm! They have started target training, which we hope will teach them to stand on (rubber) snakes during our displays - demonstrating fascinating Secretary Bird behaviour. The third chick, hatched only a few weeks after the first two, is still too small to walk but enjoys watching his/her older brother and sister stumble around.

The success we have had breeding these Endangered birds is a beacon of hope for the future of Secretary Birds!
