Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Jonathan Urbina's epic work, enititled Anibru, is currently on display at the Belize Zoo.  It's amazingly beautiful, took 13 years to finish, and is made from collected feathers of birds that are native to Belize.  Wow!  Well done, Mr. Urbina!

"Anibru comes to the Zoo!  This fabulous feather display, named "Anibru" by her creator, Jonathan Urbina (left), has come to grace TBZ with her magnificent presence.  Anibru is a unique work of art 13 years in the making.  While all the feathers are of native birds, NONE were taken from live birds, rather collected from the forest floor, or given as gifts.  To accompany Jonathan in the unveiling of Anibru was Belize's British High Commissioner, Peter Hughes (right).  The British High Commission has a strong agenda on helping to curb Climate Change, which has resulted in a great working relationship with TBZ in the past.  We are honoured to see that relationship continue with our new High Commissioner."
