One of Crocworld Conservation Centre’s most famous residents will be back on display this year!

Norris the Stork is being reintroduced to his mate in the hope of producing more Marabou Storks. This is one of Crocworld’s many breeding programmes which are instrumental in furthering the genetic diversity of threatened species. Norris has shown significant success in the programme, fathering a number of chicks over the years, including two last year.

Crocworld’s Animal Curator, Busani Mthiyane, said: “We are patiently monitoring and observing his behaviour towards his mates. The introduction of this Marabou stork comes with the intention of increasing their breeding rate as we now have two males and one female on display.”

Marabou Storks breed during the dry season only and play an important role in the ecosystem by scavenging on carcasses. Don’t miss the chance to visit Norris and friends at Crocworld!

  1. “Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.\” – Charles Evans Hughes

  2. When I came back to the United States, I decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace. And \”propaganda\” got to be a bad word because of the Germans using it, so what I did was to try and find some other words so we found the word \”councelor of public relations\”. – Edward Bernays

  3. \”PR means telling the truth and working ethically – even when all the media want is headlines and all the public wants is scapegoats. Public Relations fails when there is no integrity.\” – Viv Segal of Sefin Marketing
