"We don't normally name the dibblers ... but it's such a milestone for the breeding program, we thought Miles was a fitting name," zookeeper Lesley Shaw said in a statement via email.

It's a tough job breeding dibblers, as the mating season is only two or three weeks a year. Zookeepers need to time introductions between males and females very precisely. When they're born, they're smaller than a grain of rice and only one zookeeper is allowed to work in the breeding centre at a time, to ensure noise and disturbance is kept to a minimum.

"The ultimate goal is that we do ourselves out of a job. We would love to see the dibbler's conservation threat status improve to a point where they are thriving in the wild and zoo breeding is no longer needed. We've done that for other species, so that's the aim," Shaw said.
