Wow, they have acquired a lot of new and exciting reptiles recently! Black-capped Lory is also an exciting addition.
 
@Chlidonias

Thanks so much for list.

So the park has regained Eastern quolls, Long-nosed potoroos, (Common) Brushtail possums and Red-necked wallabies, but looks like Spectacled flying foxes and Southern brown bandicoots are not there anymore.

re: Birds,

looks like Featherdale has lost:

*Baudins cockatoo
*Cinnamon quail-thrush
*Eclectus parrot
*Forest kingfisher
*Green-winged macaw
*Inland dottarel
*Masked finch
*Orange chat
*Pacific gull
*Painted finch
*Plains wanderer
*Silver gull
*Striped honeyeater

and has gained (or regained):

*Australian raven
*Black-breasted buttonquail
*Black-capped lory
*Egyptian goose
*Nankeen night heron
*Royal spoonbill
*Sacred kingfisher
*White-headed munia

& re: Reptiles and Frogs
while its a shame Featherdale appear to no longer have these species/subspecies:

*Australian scrub python
*Eastern short-necked turtle
*Jungle carpet python
*Murray-Darling carpet python
*Saw-shelled turtle
*Woma python

Its pretty awesome they now have these species/subspecies (some likely been at the park before but appear to mostly be new additions):

*Alpine/Blotched blue-tongued skink
*Australian red-eyed tree frog
*Black-headed python
*Central netted dragon
*Crucifix frog
*Cunningham's skink
*Desert skink
*Eastern snake-necked turtle
*Gidgee skink
*King's skink
*Major skink
*Sand monitor/Gould's monitor
*Shingleback/Bobtail/Stumptail skink
*Tree(-crevice) skink

pretty cool too they have the Rottnest Island subspecies of Stumptail skinks (really want to see the Sand monitor and Central netted dragon too next time visiting + quite a few of the other new additions).

The spectacled flying foxes went to hunter valley zoo, then to Amazement Farm & Fun Park….socials say they have bred them this season also.

Plains-Wanderer, Orange Chat, and Little Buttonquail are all still there, just behind the scenes.

Didnt realise too but Scaly-breasted Lorikeets have returned (or returned to public display aviaries) at the park, nice.
