The Burgers' zoo guides have a different format from the other ones, separated into three guides. I made these to make it a challenge to spot them all (personally, I saw almost all the free-roamers in Mangrove and Desert)
Dutch zoo guides
- Thread starter Mr Gharial
- Start date
Burgers' zoo - Mangrove
Seeker's guide (With help of some insiders, a guide to where the free-roamers are most commonly found)
Checklist (Simple enough, includes species names and rarity in European zoos(Two stars is a bit of a loose concept))
Species guide (Species names with pictures, to help identify the species)

Burgers' zoo - Bush (Changes constantly, so won't be accurate for very long)

Checklist
Species guide
Reminder for Bush that the Bushymouth catfish is colossal, not like the ones you usually see. And the green iguana is also huge, and a grey-blue morph

The purple honeycreepers don't live in the mangrove anymore, do they?
I have pictures from my last visit (28th of June) of both the Red-legged and the purple honeycreepers in Mangrove, so unless they were removed since then they're both still there

Strange. Burgers' Zoo have said a while ago that when the red-legged honeycreeper was introduced in the mangrove, the purple honeycreepers were moved to the bush because the latter one does not occur in Belize.

This is true and will happen slowly to all species that don't occure there but don't have a replacement for (yet). This one purple honeycreeper must've been a stay-behind they can't seem to catch.

Were the red howler monkeys free roaming during your visit? When I visited the zoo they only had access to an enclosure left from the main entrance of the monkey forest. Did you also see the red-legged seriema and lesser rhea?
The Red howler monkeys were indeed in an enclosure outside of the monkey forest. Sadly, the monkey forest was closed on my visit and I wasn't able to see the seriema's or rheas
Also sadly, the rheas have since moved to the new pampas enclosure (I was really hoping to walk among them on my most recent visit, according to my cousins (Who came there regularly for a while) they came really close)

Aah okay, I didn't see both the rheas and the seriemas during my visit. So maybe the seriemas have also been moved to the pampa?
No, they're usually found in a separated aviary in the monkey forest according to ZC. Of course, I wouldn't know

I probably didn't come across that aviary than.
Would you mind if I made these guides for Zie Zoo?
I'd actually prefer to make them all myself, but if you help me a bit with what areas need guides, then I'll gladly make them my new project

I'll try to have it out by next week
Blue= wetlands aviary
Brown= pampa
Green = South-America House
Dark blue= sea gull aviary
Dark green = European aviary
Yellow= hyrax enclosure (the tortoises left)
Orange= African aviary
Olive green= Asian aviary
Light blue = duckpond
Red= Reptile attic
Pink= Zoo college
Looking at the other zoos you did, I think you only do aviaries and enclosures with 3 or more species, with at least one bird species. And on top of that the indoor parts. If this conclusion is right, you have all enclosures needed
Blue= wetlands aviary
Brown= pampa
Green = South-America House
Dark blue= sea gull aviary
Dark green = European aviary
Yellow= hyrax enclosure (the tortoises left)
Orange= African aviary
Olive green= Asian aviary
Light blue = duckpond
Red= Reptile attic
Pink= Zoo college
Thanks! I did actually wonder about some of the locations, I'm also curious about the Kirk's dikdik enclosure, the red-billed magpie aviary and a few other areas
I feel like there's other mixed enclosures here, but I don't know for sure
