A real-life unicorn? 🦄 No, that’s just the Horned Screamer! This bird is so iconic, an entire province in Colombia is named after it!
While it may look more like a strange breed of turkey, the Horned Screamer lives in marshes, nesting on floating vegetation. 🌱

Out of 361 birds in care, 45 of them are Snowy Egret chicks! 🥹 These delicate babies often fall from their high nests before they’re ready to fly. They're incredibly fragile – requiring careful handling to help them grow strong.

#Spring has arrived, and with it, a flurry of new patients: Double-crested Cormorant chicks and eggs!
These little ones require intensive care and hand feeding from our expert team and are growing fast.
Stay tuned for more on their rescue story coming soon.
