Article Abstract:

In the wild, African white-throated bee-eater catch diffrent kinds of bugs and snails to end up with a balanced diet. In captivity like those in the Bronx Zoo's World of Birds, crickets and lives bees enriched with calcium and other nutrients are toosed in the air for the birds to catch. As for toucans, some of the exotic fruits that they normally eat are not available, and so the Zoo experiment's with canned goods such as olives and fill them with cocoa butter resembling black fruits in the wild.
