Donnie & Nigel

Sacred Ibis

Donnie and Nigel were hatched in a zoo in Virginia. Before they fledged, a bad storm caused their parents to abandon their nest, which is a common behavior seen in wild birds. Since the brothers were only a few weeks old and had to be hand-fed, the zoo transferred them to Raptor Hallow Sanctuary to be cared for and serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts.
