Lovesick Hornbill at Fife Zoo looking for girlfriend after Brexit halts search for love
A lovesick Hornbill at Fife Zoo is looking for a girlfriend after his quest to find "the one" was thwarted by Brexit. Zazu, a rare Von der Decken hornbill, arrived the Cupar zoo as part of an endangered species breeding programme.
It is hoped that if a suitable mate can be found for the bird, then the zoo will be able to contribute to global captive breeding efforts to safeguard the species from extinction in the wild. "Zazu seems perfectly happy sharing our new aviary with the other bird species and we’re also adding the beautiful Madagascan Fody to the aviary in the coming weeks."
"Female Von der Decken hornbills bury themselves underground to hatch and rear their chicks with the male hornbill feeding the mother and chicks through a slit in the underground mud nest.
