The first article summarises its natural history and conservation status, history in aviculture, and the current status in public and private collections.
The second article is about my personal experience with this amazing species in my aviaries. Why and how did I start keeping them, what is it like to join an international breeding programme, and what challenges did I encounter to successfully breed them?
You can read these stories (20 pages) in the Dutch October magazine of Aviornis International.
