The first hand-rearing of Mauritian white-eyes Zosterops spp

Four common Mauritius Grey White-eyes ( Z. borbonica mauritianus ) chicks 
were hand-reared to help refine hand-rearing techniques in preparation for 
hand-rearing chicks of the Critically Endangered Mauritius Olive White-eye 
( Z. chloronothos ). The first nest rescues and hand-rearing to fledging of 
chicks of both species at the Gerald Durrell Wildlife Sanctuary on the island 
are described. There is a feeding schedule for the chicks and a graph that 
plots the daily weights of the Olive White-eye chicks. There is also a description 
of the development of the chicks from day one to day 15.
