A Bird Like No Other: Bringing Up Maleos

After carefully recreating the conditions needed for incubation, zoo ornithologists helped our rare maleos hatch three chicks. The little ones bring our total tally to nine. After watching the video, visit the adults in the World of Birds, the only home for maleos. outside of Indonesia,

They are like beautiful little dinosaurs! They must be kept in healthy numbers in the wild!

[@mikeycbaby]

They are one of a few birds that can fly soon after hatching.

[@Bulbophile]

Fantastic work and info

[@achmaddenny1979]

Maleo from Central of Sulawesi Island.

[@jurianf.kaunang1808]

It can be found in Maluku/Mollucas islands, Buru island and Papua island of Indonesian archipelago. Not only in Sulawesi (They can be found in North Sulawesi too, not only central of Sulawesi) :)

[@angelkotilainen]

@@jurianf.kaunang1808 True they are on other islands too, I have seen them on an island called Savo island in the Solomon Islands. The islanders collect lots of the eggs for their own food, and hawks hunt the new borns so that their first flights are often their last. I really don't know how this species survive tbh.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@nelsonitinge990]

Would you be publishing a book about your breeding of these wonderful maleo birds so that we who live close to these birds would also know how to successfully breed the birds so they dont become extinct? I really need some help please? God bless

[@Tyronestreasures]

[@isopodslug6365]

Reminds me visually of a guinea hen

[@user-rr7ex1do8w]

They are able to fly.Their wings look like wide,I think they can fly some distant.

[@julaibeebmuhammad5631]

These birds are special but women who dedicated their lives on them are even more special

[@lunzie01]

Fascinating! (But the "background" music is way too loud!)

[@prostydoodle8891]

This is awesome, i'm sorry can i take your video for educational purposes?

[@zafarshah1329]

الله اكبر

[@wongjowodiperantauan7252]

My dad once told me that Maleo bird pass out for a moment after laying egg. Is he right?

[@yellownaped2577]

They kinda remind me of a guinea fowl

[@nassersn5016]

From what species it is considered

[@raikitty5608]

Goofy and cute

[@tacchino72]

grazie è il tacchino di boscaglia ?

[@Grand_History]

Raising a Maleo shouldn’t be difficult. The parents abandon the eggs, and they’re born taking care of themselves

[@geigertec5921]

Imagine it laid its egg in volcanic soil and it got a little too hot and the egg got cooked XP

[@wandasaputra8683]

permission to ask for a video ma'am

[@user-jt1ft7sm4u]

Hello ~! This is SBS Korean terrestrial broadcasting entertainment program 'Jungle's Law' directing team ~! But we need the information of 'Megaford' to be on this week's broadcast ~~! I think the video you uploaded will be the most helpful.

[@tareqahmed9181]

Please, Think about GOD , Great GOD who create this creation. Really it is amazing bird, egg and hatching. Isn't it?

Poor things. Probably stopped protecting nests because of the island having very few predators, parenthood is not a habit that can easily come back to a creature after losing it over millions of years.
