In March 2015, a MoU was signed between Chester Zoo and CCBC to strengthen their partnership by receiving regular funding to take care of the birds in CCBC and getting medical and husbandry advice. Chester Zoo also sends regularly interns to help the CCBC Team and train these interns on the husbandry of these rare birds.

In March 2015, Andrew Owen (Curator of birds) and Dr. Javier Lopez (Head of Veterinary Department) came to Cikananga to provide help in microchipping the birds, assist in routine health check and advice on husbandry for these valuable species.
