Extremely exciting and inspiring news coming out of Durrell’s Jersey Zoo! For the first time they have successfully bred a critically endangered Javan green magpie chick! With only around 100 left in the wild this is a huge step forward for the species. | Repost @durrell_jerseyzoo | We're delighted to announce that the Bird Department at Jersey Zoo (Durrell HQ) has successfully bred their first Javan green magpie chick and we would like our supporters to help us name him! The keepers have chosen several potential names, but it's now up to you to decide... 1. Salamat – a national park in Java where Javan green magpies are found 2. Musim – 'monsoon' in Javanese 3. Hijau – an Indonesian adjective, which describes the colour ‘emerald green’ 4. Gilang – Malay for ‘bright, glittering, splendid’ 5. Eko – ‘first’ in Javanese 6. Satu – Indonesian for ‘one’, with the hope that there will be ‘two’, ‘three’ etc in the future! 7. Indra – god of seas and skies Vote for your favourite name by leaving a comment below. The Javan green magpie is Critically Endangered, with a wild population of around 100 individuals.
