NEWS FROM THE DURRELL WILDLIFE CONSERVATION TRUST

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is delighted that seven of its Bali Starlings, which were bred at the park in Jersey, have now returned to their native island of Bali.

The seven former Durrell residents will be joining 13 other birds bred in captivity in Europe to become part of a Bali breeding programme led by the Begawan Foundation. The returned birds will help increase the genetic diversity in the foundation’s breeding stock, and will settle at their breeding centre in Sibang following an initial quarantine period at Bali Bird Park.
