the
arrival
of
nine
baby
Plains-wanderers,
one
of
the
most
genetically
important
birds
in
the
world!
In late March, nine tiny fluffballs emerged from their eggs at Werribee
Open Range Zoo. This is only the second time these unique and critically
endangered birds have been bred at a zoo in Victoria!
