While you’re on a string or additions - you indicated that you saw many-colored fruit dove on your species list, but didn’t list it here even though it would count. Is this an error?

Yes, it is an error. For some reason I thought that it was the same species as Ptilinopus pulchellus so I didn't count it. Thanks for catching that.

I thought they kept it behind the scenes. It has been listed on their website for years.

It’s a program animal. Today, it was being held by a keeper as I headed towards Islands. I honestly though the zoo didn’t have it anymore.
 
Neil chace said:
I will trust you on this- the scientific name did not come out on my picture of the sign so I did a Google search and this showed up. It is now changed to Otidiphaps nobilis. (I am not physically changing it on my list because I know I will not see either species again this year).


Okay- I thought they were based on t he sign. Sorry- removed.from my list.

Based on this- I can add one more.

The zoo does not have the Madagascar turtle, these are Pelusios turtles. Also I'm pretty sure the zoo's swifts are O. cuvieri, not cyclurus.
