(Maybe further discussion should be held in the free-roamers thread)
Some actual news for a change:
There's a new Eld's deer (formerly they had a bachelor group)
There's a new male Northern cardinal in Desert
The pinon's imperial-pigeons in Bush have a baby

They ain't babies! Babies are for humans. The pinon's have hatched a chick!
This is weird. The green Iguanas are allways very visible. I remember the first time at burgers, were I chilled with one for like 5 min. we were just vibin
Strange how this can vary
Apparently, Vogelcommando has always seen the Aardvarks active, while I have yet to see them not sleeping. And here you are, seeing the iguanas while I only saw one one time in a tree
yeah... no I just am cursed..
Male* Eld's deer and Female* bachelor group. Should've added that
I thought they bred Burmese Eld's before.
There are 3 Burmese, Siam and Manipur.
At Burgers'? I'm talking about the present ones at the zoo.
Burgers' (and almost all other European zoos) have the Burmese subspecies.
Except for some Siam Eld's deer in French zoos, all in Europe are of the Burma subspecies.
Another thing I forgot to add since my last visit.
The glass from the former turtle enclosure in Desert is finally gone, it's been bothering me for years. There are now a few branches keeping people out and some extra shrubbery to fill it in

A bit of a news round-up from the zoo (some news which has been posted about earlier, some new things):
And some news from their Facebook page:
- The white-faced whistling ducks (Dendrocygna viduata) in the Bush have been replaced with white-winged ducks (Asarcornis scutulata) as they are better suited to the climate.
- The Greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) pair in the Desert have lain eggs.
- The introduction between two lionesses (Panthera leo), one who had 3 young and one who had 2 young, went well. They now live together in a large family group.
- White-lipped tree frogs (Litoria infrafrenata) have been living in the green tree python (Morelia viridis) exhibit for some time now.
- The young Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus) that passed away at the start of the year died due to a weak immune system. The good news, however, is that the adults have mated again recently.
- ARTIS has given Burgers' some more fish because of an aquarium renovation. The species include species that were already present in the Ocean, like the Moorish idol (Zanclus cornutus), but also some new species. The teleosts given to the zoo will remain there.
And some news from their Facebook page:
- A Malaysian Great Argus (Argusianus argus argus) has hatched at the zoo for the first time in over ten years.

That would explain why they were off-exhibit on my previous visit, good to hear!
Then perhaps my information was wrong and the pheasants were simply held behind the scenes temporarily
And this would be the reason why they are behind the scenes.
