What to know as the avian influenza outbreak that’s claimed the lives of millions of birds.
African grey parrots and Congo Expedition Aviary
The following zoo regions are closed with their respective avian exhibits – North America, Heart of Africa, Asia Quest, Shores and Aquarium, Australia and the Islands and Congo Expedition. The bird species that have been relocated at the 202-acre facility include trumpeter swans, red-crowned cranes, yellow-billed storks, African crowned cranes, saddle-billed storks and flamingos.
"Due to recent avian influenza cases in Illinois, several of Brookfield Zoo’s bird species, including Guinea fowl, peafowl, ravens, and Cape Barren geese, are being kept in holding areas to minimize the potential for transmission from wild birds to these more susceptible species," said Dr. Sathya Chinnadurai, senior vice president of animal health and welfare for the Chicago Zoological Society.
"The safety of our animals and our staff remains our highest priority," said Dr. Jeremy Goodman, president and CEO at Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, in a statement.
