RHEAS CLOSE-UP RHEAST PAIR (2) A pair of rhea birds are among the new arrivals at the Cambridge campus of the College of West Anglia. It has both a male and female rheas. The male is white and two years old and the female is a small and grey and is a year old. Donna Woodruff, a programme manager at the Milton campus, said the rheas were very friendly and have come from a home that had eight or more rheas. They have settled in well at the college and are very friendly. The male rhea incubates the eggs and rears the young. They can lay up to 30 eggs a time. The campus is looking to expand the group as the first rheas settle in. The campus acquired the rheas from Walpole Highway, near Wisbech. They arrived just two days before Open Farm Sunday. At first they are being kept at the main campus at Milton and once higher fencing is sorted, they will be moved to the nearby Woodside Farm. The close-up picture was actually taken by Donna’s 12-year-old daughter Kim before they were taken to Milton. They are not the only new arrivals. Adding to the different animals at the campus there are new chameleons, basilisks lizards, beetles, boa constrictor and a few others. PICTURES The top picture was taken by Kim Woodruff, 12, before it was taken with another to Milton where her mother Donna took the second picture.
