All Northern bald ibis recaptured

All of the 18 Northern bald ibises which escaped from Prague Zoo at the start of the month have been recaptured, according to the zoo’s director Miroslav Bobek. The birds were captured in different parts of Prague and further afield with active help from the public. One of the birds died shortly after being brought back because it consumed a wide variety of objects including broken glass. One of the others will have to undergo an operation for the same reason. The ibises escaped after a bout of heavy snow damaged their aviary.
