Where did this list come from? Have you visited the zoo yourself recently? There are several things that conflict with what I saw in June. Also, it is impossible that they have free-ranging fairy-bluebirds.

All sorts of things were used to fine this, pre-visit PDF sheets, the zoo's app, Wikipedia, zoo's website, map, and Zoochat. In the free-range section, the other animal after peafowls were bluebirds. I was extremely skeptical about it and was going to take it off (now will). Finally no, I have not visited the zoo and probably never will.
 
The African Savanna/Aviary list looks to be fairly accurate almost 6 years later although a couple of the bird species in the very tiny aviary might have changed. Tropical Asia no longer has any elephants or Lion-tailed Macaques but there are Siamangs, Francois Langurs, Greater One-horned Rhinos and Demoiselle Cranes. Trail of Adaptations no longer has Malayan Sun Bears or Northern Tree Shrews and even the Raptor Center has seen its inhabitants shrink with not as many bird species these days.

Australasia looks to still be accurate and the same generally goes for Northern Trail. Unfortunately, the Day Exhibit/Reptile House has been closed down (after a fire) for at least 18 months and there is no timeline on a reopening date. The Night Exhibit/Nocturnal House was supposed to reopen this year after almost a decade of being closed but those plans have been temporarily abandoned. The Tropical Rainforest is remarkably similar to how it was 6 years ago, although White-faced Saki Monkeys have been added. The list of species on-exhibit in Bug World is limited as there are only around a dozen terrariums in that small building. Other rarities around the zoo such as Japanese Serow, Chinese Goral, Springhare and Pygmy Slow Loris are all long gone.

Woodland Park Zoo is an excellent establishment but the facility has honestly regressed during the past decade. When I look around at zoos like San Diego, Omaha, Saint Louis, Columbus, Miami, Oregon and National Zoo I see 7 establishments that have all probably spent at least $100 million on new exhibits in the space of 10 years while Woodland Park has (temporarily) not had a Reptile House, or a Nocturnal House, plus closed down its elephant exhibit and lost some choice rarities.

@snowleopard Did they temporarily abandon the Nocturnal House plans due to lack of funding or something else?

A few years ago there was a big announcement that the Nocturnal House would reopen in 2018 and I was excited as its 2010 closure was a massive disappointment. However, a fire that closed the adjacent Reptile House ended that idea and the last I heard was that the zoo was waiting for the insurance case to be completed before anything else can occur. My hope, and this is currently just wishful thinking, is that in a couple of years both buildings are renovated and reopened to the public as a LOT of species have been lost due to the closures.
