I have just received a press release from Loro Parque with the latest information on developments there

Only two more days to go for the opening of the VII Parrot Convention in Tenerife. I have just received a press release from Loro Parque with the latest information on developments there. The huge "Katandra treetop" aviary inaugurated a year ago and accommodating mainly birds from Asia and Australia can be enjoyed by attendees of the convention. They will also be able to see three of this year's Lear's Macaw chicks in the hand-rearing station. Two others are still with their foster parents - a pair of Green-winged Macaws (Ara chloropterus) - while one of the adult pairs is raising its own young. Finally the other pair of Lear's Macaws has produced the first egg of the second clutch. This clutch will remain with the parents to allow this now experienced pair the opportunity to raise the young produced.
