Dear
Sir,
Thank
you for your letter of 31.05.75.
Further
to my letter of 26th February 1975 I wish to state
that the number of birds has increased and now we have several young
pairs that may start breeding soon. At the time of writing these letter we
have some chicks that hatched out recently in the Walk-in-Aviary.
In
captivity the jungle fouls breed and raise their chicks in the seem manner has
they do in their wild state. The jungle fours in the walk-in-aviary lay their
eggs in shallow depressions made on the ground which are lined with drive
leaves. The nest-sites are in these undergrowth. Chicks wonder around feeding
on insects and grain in addition to the food that is provided.
Yours
faithfully,
Director
