The madagascar crested ibis was brought to Europe by Bernd Marcordes in the days he worked for Wlasrode birdpark. With our friend Serve Lemmens we where able to get some offspring, we worked on it over the years.

Pictures here are from the firstborn out of a Zoo.

We stopped the species when nobody wanted help on the info we had on what is wrong with the captive birds. Brilliant bird where I do not want to talk much about, some people have long toes, most involved are clearly happy the way it continues.
