Last week I attended the Aviculture Meeting at Martin Mere, we discussed different incubation techniques and how to encourage our Flamingos to breed. Our Greater Flamingos breed well at the centre but our Chilean Flamingos prove to be more difficult, not only here but at other trust centres as well. We are going to look at introducing bark for them to build nests, as our Greaters do, and also adding mirrors, this will create a bigger flock size, as all Flamingos breed better in larger flocks. This has been known to work with a private collection where there are only 12 birds.
On Friday I attended a Development meeting for the centre, which i will update you on in due course. Martin Mere will be holding the AGM this year and we are currently discussing a layout for the day.
