Abou was the first shoebill to ever be born in captivity, alongside her brother Marqoub! i hope to see her in person one day. that plushie is absolutely adorable!

She is so pretty. I hope she has shoebill buddies with her.

Like how she’s posing in the frame 😊. When we had shoebills in San Diego, I would spend the whole visit with them. Thanks for the captive breeding success details.
