Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) - Part II

We are blessed to have a pair of the Eurasian hoopoe, for the first time, nesting at the Taiping Lake Gardens, just outside of Zoo Taiping & Night Safari.  The hoopoe's nesting has attracted people from all around Perak to come and see the bird for themselves.  In order to safeguard the safety of the nest and any untoward incidence, Taiping Municipal Council, the local authority and Zoo Taiping have placed security guards near the nests for round the clock surveillance.  There are also currently constant monitoring of the behaviours and feeding of the hoopoe, which currently being done with collaboration of the Council, Zoo Taiping, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) & NESt (Nurture Educate Share Train), a Non-governmental organisation.  I'm glad to be part of the group in monitoring the successful breeding of the hoopoe.

As of today, we have observed that there are at least two chicks in the nest.  More efforts are being put in place to ensure the safety of the hoopoe family. Stay tuned for the latest in this unprecedented hoopoe's nesting in Taiping.
