Re: MIGRANTS IN CAPTIVITY

[(Tony Palliser)]

Paul,
Can you tell us what birds are currently kept at the zoo and are there any
records of birds
that have escaped?   It would be interesting to know what species are kept
in captivity in 
Sydney and come to that anywhere in Australia.  For example I know that
there are forest
Kingfishers kept at Featherdale Wildlife park.  There is therefore a
possibility that the 
Kingfisher recorded at Bass Hill is an escapee?  Perhaps the Banded
Honeyeater and
Cotton Pygmy Goose records could be escapee's too??


Regards
Tony
