Three rare maleo chicks have been hatched at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo after careful study and re-creation of the specialized conditions needed for the successful incubation of this endangered bird’s eggs.

The Bronx Zoo has nine maleos including the three new chicks. Adults are on exhibit in the Bronx Zoo’s World of Birds – the only place these unusual birds can be seen outside of their native home on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

To learn more about these rare birds, please watch this video.

Please consider donating to the Wildlife conservation or visiting the Bronx Zoo.
