It appears that the Keas are no more. The Kea Encounter/Free Flight Aviary has reverted back to it's original roots.

From their Facebook post:
Our newly renovated free-flight aviary is now open from 10am-3pm daily. Come in and visit with some amazing feathered friends including the inca tern, magpie goose, nicobar pigeon and more! [There's also Gulls]

I forgot to mention, but the Keas are off display in the building behind Wings of the World (not a public building) until the colder months.
 
Shame about the Keas. It would be my first time seeing them if they would've been on display.

I'm leaving for Cincinnati tonight, anything you guys want me to check out when I go to the zoo?
 
Another video on the new and improved Free Flight Aviary, formerly, the Kea Encounter. Featuring a former coworker, and my source to unannounced future zoo plans;). Banking off of the last species list I gave when this was first announced - additionally there are also Lady Ross's Turaco, Red-legged Seriema, Vcitoria Crowned Pigeon, and White Ibises (new species)

I went to the zoo two days ago for Twilight Tuesdays. Oddly enough, the crowd was not large.
A few updates.
1. I'm not so sure if this is new, but I saw a selfie stand at the African Painted Dog exhibit, and I don't recall seeing it before that.
2. Sammy the Moluccan Cockatoo has been moved (again) to the island outside of the Reptile House. The Island outside of Wings of the World remains empty.
3. The Bald Eagle exhibit is not open yet.
4. There is a random Ruddy Shelduck in the Australasia exhibit in the bird house.

Are you referring to the "dog ears"?

Well that's disappointing, I'd much rather see him in the larger, and more shaded space.
 
Do you guys know if Harapan has bred with one of the rhinos at the SRS?
 
A juvenile rescued bald eagle is now in the new exhibit behind the tortoises. Another eagle will join them in a few weeks.
