They can’t provide the same ecosystem value as natural forest and woodland but in places intensely modifed by people, hedges are vital sanctuaries for birds and other wildlife. Hedgerows seem to provide important breeding spots for this smart looking bird. We have House Sparrows too but this bird is much more common.

Habitat destruction, disease and hunting are still major problems that affect the conservation efforts, but the breeding sites and wintering grounds now have international protection. In Taiwan, two major sanctuaries have been allocated as part of the spoonbill recovery program. Captive breeding programs have not shown much success.

In the 1970s we had two to four breeding pairs, in the 1980s one to two, in the 1990s it was zero to two (irregular breeding).

There are more radical shifts in shorebirds , many of which leave to return to the northern tundra to breed, and seabirds, with many subantarctic species showing up around the coasts during the winter , with others leaving to spend the winter in the North Pacific.

In light of this horrible incident, is it right for the zoo to carry on a breeding program that subjects more animals to such unnatural lives? Many sanctuaries do not permit breeding. The zoo, surely, carries responsibility for deficiencies in its enclosure. Finally, what of the audience?
