Summary[edit]
_(2855064340).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | In the wild, they eat frogs, fish and invertebrates and sometimes scavenge near human habitation. In the Zoo, they are fed pinky mice, fish, mealworms, omnivore diet and bird of prey diet (the latter two are scientifically, commercially prepared diets). This species is typically found in pairs, sedentary and remains in well-defined territories near water. It is not uncommon to find them perched on the backs of hippopotamuses, searching for frogs. Some pairs, however, may move to normally dry areas when the seasonal rains arrive. Often claimed to be nocturnal, it is actually active only during the day. But, like many African birds, it feeds in the cool of the dawn and dusk, and roosts calmly during the heat of the day. |
