Standing Tall with Milky Stork Conservation

Amazing Wildlife: A San Diego Zoo Podcast

When you think of carnivorous birds, you probably imagine an eagle or a falcon, but did you know storks are carnivorous too? Hosts Rick and Marco visit the Bird Conservation Center at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park to speak with Senior Wildlife Care Specialist Miranda Estensen. While the milky stork is native to the mangroves of Southeast Asia, it is also endangered. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has taken the lessons learned from the California condor breeding program to help the current population of milky storks. Tune in to find out how the Bird Conservation Center and Avian Propagation Center have worked together to help our long-legged friend.
