Dvůr Králové Safari Park breeding rare Congo Muscovy ducks

The Dvůr Králové nad Labem Safari Park says it has managed to breed rare Congo Muscovy ducks for the first time in its history. The three chicks, whose homeland is West Africa, were successfully hatched four years after the breeding program was launched. The Safari Park is spearheading efforts to save the rare species of birds whose numbers are rapidly declining around the world. The birds for the breeding program were acquired from the Netherlands, the USA and from the Prague and Ostrava zoos.
