ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Feathers are getting ruffled by a new member of the Albuquerque zoo's family.
KRQE-TV reports that the ABQ Biopark Zoo is caring for a new tiny bird known as the Socorro Dove.
Zoo officials say the breed is extinct in the wild and only a hundred exist in captivity.
The zoo currently houses 25 Socorro Doves as part of its special breeding program to increase the bird's population.
Zoo staffers say a white dove is serving as a foster mother to the new chick, which will join the flock this summer.
