Hi Megan, thanks for your comment. The Aviary checked for Eurasian Eagle-Owl births with the AZA studbook keeper, since (because of its popularity in zoos) this is a managed species. They also checked ZIMS records (Zoological Institutional Management System). It is their understanding that a majority of AZA accredited facilities participate in these programs as a best practice. Let us know if you have any evidence to the contrary. We're curious! Thanks.
