Rare African hawk eagle chick hatched at Czech zoo in what is likely a European first

A small zoo near the Central Bohemian town of Kladno is celebrating an exceptional breeding achievement. At the end of March, a young African hawk eagle hatched at the Zájezd Zoopark, one of only three zoos in Europe that keep the species. According to available records, it could be the first successful breeding of the bird in a European zoo. To learn more, I spoke with Daniel Koleška, the zoo’s head of conservation projects and education.

African hawk eagles are quite rare in captivity.
