It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Cecil, our beloved Lady Amherst’s Pheasant. 💔
On Monday, 9th June 2025, we said goodbye after a long period of care and monitoring. Cecil had been receiving treatment for arthritis, and our dedicated zoo vet and keepers did everything possible to manage his condition and ensure his comfort.
At 14 years old, Cecil had been a part of our Zoo family since 2012. He was a striking and graceful bird, much loved by staff and visitors alike.
He will be dearly missed. 💚
