Heron gone and back again!

By Creature Feature In Critter Corner

This past summer, during one of the storms that came through, one of our Black Crowned Night Heron Chicks had to be pulled out for some extra care after he fell out of one of the trees in our outdoor coastal plains aviary. Animal care staff found the little guy and brought him into one of our indoor animal areas for a few days worth of care so he could be returned to the exhibit to live with his family out in the exhibit. I’m happy to report that he’s been returned to the exhibit and is adjusting very well. He’s able to move around the exhibit without any effort and he’s enjoying spending time with his bird family.
