A lovesick Hornbill at Fife Zoo is looking for a girlfriend after his quest to find "the one" was thwarted by Brexit. Zazu, a rare Von der Decken hornbill, arrived the Cupar zoo as part of an endangered species breeding programme.
The tropical bird arrived at the zoo earlier this year and is currently sharing his brand-new enclosure with other bird species including Hamerkop, Turacos and Whistling Ducks. After Brexit, the transportation of birds across Europe has become more challenging, as well as the recent Bird Flu outbreak, which has seen Zazu's love-life put on hold.
It is hoped that if a suitable mate can be found for the bird, then the zoo will be able to contribute to global captive breeding efforts to safeguard the species from extinction in the wild.
