In the House of the Sea in Vienna-Mariahilf, a blue-throated guan has joined. "The blue-throated guans, which originate from Central and South America, are extremely social animals," said the responsible curator and deputy director Robert Riener in a statement on Wednesday.

"We therefore hope that our female and her new partner get along well and maybe even soon provide offspring. After all, guans like to live in family groups." Director Jeff Schreiner: "By socializing the two birds, the House of the Sea makes an important contribution to the efforts to preserve and stabilize the blue-throated guan population in European zoos."
