Obviously, P. ornaticauda has been imported again by Ruinemans/The Netherlands. It is likely to turn up in other countries, too. Friends in Germany, the Chech-Republic, Austria and France should open their eyes. There is a great interest in this species, and we have a small stock only. The breeding of this species is not as easy as with many other Paro-species; even the best experts experience some unsolved puzzles. As our Hamburg meeting is concerned, it could be fine if we had hints where the trade offers it. Chester Zoo, for instance, is looking for some pairs with respect to a planned breeding programme, but it is unclear whether we can geve them enough animals from our Hamburg breeding stock. We should make use of this opportunity to enlarge our stocks.
