background

The birds were previously on display at Bird House, but due to reconstruction work related to the aging of the facility, the exhibit was closed in 2025, and since then they have been kept in a private facility.

With this removal, the keeping of Crested Stintillans, Crested Partridges, Black-and-white Lapwings, and Yellow-breasted Starlings at Ueno Zoo will come to an end.
