We are excited to announce that a new Abyssinian (Northern) ground hornbill exhibit is open in Encounter Africa!
CMZoo hornbills, Petrie and Layla, spent their first day exploring each item in their unique exhibit on Tuesday this week. Inspired by a real-life shop near one of our conservation partners in Kenya, Tsavo Trust, the exhibit was designed to show what life can look like for humans and animals that coexist in rural Africa.
The diverse collection of interesting objects and oddities creates a fun environment for the curious hornbills. Petrie and Layla love to explore and use their long bills to hunt prey in nooks and crannies. They especially like tapping their bills on objects that make fun noises. This enriching space encourages their natural behaviors and increases cognitive skills.
You can find Petrie and Layla in Encounter Africa from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.
