The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is excited to announce that its “Year of the Penguin” campaign has received the Plume Award for Significant Contribution to Zoo Aviculture from the Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums’ Avian Scientific Advisory Group (ASAG). This award, which recognizes an institution’s exceptional achievement in aviculture, credits Cincinnati Zoo’s bird team for successfully opening two world-class penguin habitats in the summer of 2020 (during a global pandemic)! “One of the more exciting projects associated with these penguin habitats is the ongoing research using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which was incorporated into pool and beach areas in both African Penguin Point and the Little Blue Penguin habitats,” said Cincinnati Zoo bird team curator Jenny Gainer. “The 24/7 tracking system, which was pioneered by our very own head keeper Rickey Kinley many years ago, will allow us to collect real-time data about individual bird behavior, trends for the colonies, and more!”
