A collared falconet seized by authorities and rehomed in Cornwall in 2021 lays eggs.
Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary said it held the only collared falconets in UK and EU zoos after an attempt was made to bring them into Europe illegally.Curator David Woolcock said staff were celebrating a "breakthrough" as one of the falconets laid eggs for the first time at the park.However, it is not known which falconet laid the eggs.
Mr Woolcock said: "We are leaving them alone and not disturbing them to give them the best chance, so will be a little while before we know if the eggs were fertile and have hatched.Mr Woolcock said the birds could not be returned to the wild so they were given a home in the sanctuary. The birds have a large distribution across Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand.Cornish town to host new festivalCornish residents wanted for deprivation study
