Description
Meet the Birds: Congratulations to curator Nick Hill and the aviculturists at the Sylvan Heights Avian Breeding Center for achieving a first breeding in North America of Flying Steamer Ducks (Tachyeres patachonicus)! The three ducklings are now five weeks old, and their parents are doing a great job of caring for them. The new family is not on exhibit at Sylvan Heights Bird Park, but we’ll post updates as they continue to grow. This video shows the ducklings at about two weeks old, searching every nook and cranny of their pond for tasty treats!
