The birds in the NaturZoo Rheine do not want to be inferior to the rabbits in the egg delivery: In most aviaries, the courtship and breeding business of the feathered zoo residents has begun.The red of the ibises now appears even brighter, and the roseate spoonbills have donned their seasonal wedding outfit with intense pink wings and a colorful bald head. Nesting and brooding will take a few weeks until hopefully chicks hatch.The Black Storks in Rheine this year are showing clear interest in nesting and hopefully liking each other. By the way, black storks are much more colorful than their name suggests. Just now at breeding time, the plumage shimmers in rainbow colors and the beak glows red.
