Dozens of endangered meadow birds hatch at Artis: A hopeful sight

Artis zoo in Amsterdam is hatching dozens of endangered meadow bird eggs, such as redshanks and avocets, to help bolster populations that have seen a significant decline in the Netherlands. The zoo utilizes a breeding strategy that encourages birds to lay a second clutch, effectively doubling the number of chicks produced during the season.
