MR MACAWBER'S DIARY

August 2010

Dear Diary Friends,

I hope you are all having fantastic summer holidays! All of us here at Tropical Wings Zoo have had so much fun so far over the holidays and they're not even finished yet! We had our Wild Wings day on the the 22nd August where not only our own birds were on show but we had many more Owls, Falcons, Hawks and much more!

You may have seen our famous curly pigs already but did you know that on the 13th June 2010 Portia gave birth to 8 piglets? Not to be left out, Margo is also now expecting so watch this space for more updates on her progress. So far we have had great success with our breeding programme throughout the zoo including: baby Black and White Ruffed Lemurs, Ravens, North American Wild Turkeys, Geoffroy's Marmosets, Red Jungle Fowl (the original chicken!), baby Black Cheeked Lovebirds (these are the most endangered birds of Africa, baby African Greys (currently being hand reared) and baby Meerkats. These have all been born here at Tropical Wings Zoo!

New additions which have been brought into the zoo are Bar Headed Geese and African Spotted Eagle Owls. We are continually adding ne species to the Zoo and we will keep you informed at all times. For continuous updates why not follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

See you soon.

Lots of love,

Mr Macawber xxxxxx
