American Egret
An elegant egret named Grace has become a symbol of serenity at the zoo. Known for her habit of standing motionless for long periods, Grace creates the illusion of a living statue. Her patience is especially evident during feeding time, as she expertly waits for the perfect moment to strike at her meal. One fascinating aspect of her story is her role in a research project about bird communication. Zookeepers noticed Grace using subtle movements, such as the positioning of her wings, to interact with nearby birds. This behavior sparked a study on non-vocal communication among egrets, shedding new light on their social interactions.
