Abstract
After a complete renovation of the Zoo am Meer in 2004, a new phase of breeding with 16 animals began. Already in 2005 there was the first offspring and since then a total of 30 chicks hatched. Consistently it happens that animals that shelter their chicks are distracted by one bird and other birds steal and eat the chick. Plaster eggs for couples without oviposition or the removal of individuals provide relief during this critical period.
