Do you have any idea what species of Birds of Prey they have at the performance in the amphitheatre?
What happened to all the other species they had Jurong, like the Andean Condor?
Raggiana, Lesser, King and 12-wired.
In the Every-birdy out video about the birds moving from Jurong to Mandai it said they had 52 Birds of Prey to move, so that must consist of a lot of species. Do you know what all the species are?
Where does it say those species in the lists you made?

Read post #43.
The birds of paradise will be in Winged Sanctuary, which isn't opened yet as stated previously.
I did see post #43, but there's only 11 species there, so there would be around 5 individuals for each species. Which that seems like a lot more individuals then they at Jurong, and they also only have one or two individuals in the amphitheatre show, so to me there should be more species.
Do you know why they will be housed in Winged Sanctuary rather then Mysterious Papua?
Because the Winged Sanctuary is mainly for endangered birds that are used in breeding programmes, then do you think maybe the Birds-of-paradise will be moved to Mysterious Papua once they have successfully breed them multiple times?

I love everything they've done with the new bird park, one of the best in the world. The only thing I would like them to add is a Bird of Prey area, near the amphitheatre so the staff don't have to move them across the entire park for the performances. The area would consist of smaller aviaries, similar in style to the Winged Sanctuary aviaries, and changing in size depending on the size of the species.
I think also maybe a Jabiru and an Anhinga species would work well in the Crimson Wetlands aviary, as there's an underwater viewing to one of the pools where the Scarlet Ibises reside, which would be cool to see the Anhinga swimming underwater.
These aren't critiques or complaints, they're more what I would like to see as upgrades/adjustments in the future.

Not a precise list but gives a rough idea of the numbers:
>10 Brahminy Kites
> 5 Turkey Vultures
5 Harris Hawks
3 White-bellied Sea Eagles
3 Changeable Hawk Eagles
2 Andean Condors
2 King Vultures
2 Hooded Vultures
2 Cinereous Vultures
2 White-backed Vultures
2 Himalayan Griffons
2 Southern Caracara
2 Marabou Storks
1 Black Vulture
1 Bald Eagle
1 African Sea Eagle
1 Greater Spotted Eagle
1 Barn Owl
Why do you think they didn't made aviaries for these species so that people can be view them outside the amphitheatre?
Literally the only bad thing I had to say (so far) when I went for one of the previews. I was told it's because the entire park isn't grounded (???) and that they are working to resolve this ASAP.
Apparently the static is due to the plastic floorboards. Stainless steel handrails are a practical choice due to the bird poop.
Do they still have the Razor-billed curassow that they had at Jurong?
Yes she is in the Amazonian Jewels aviary with the other Cracids.

The cockatoos at the walk-in aviaries have been causing quite a bit of mayhem, from destroying fixtures to biting people and their personal belongings. I suppose the park management was being too optimistic in letting so many of the cockatoos get close to visitors.
