The Japanese hawk-tailed sparrow that was removed this time was on display in Bird House, but due to reconstruction work related to the aging of the facility, the exhibit will end in June 2025, and it has been kept in a non-public area since then. With this removal, the keeping of Japanese hawk-tailed sparrows at Ueno Zoo has come to an end.
