L`Oceanogràfic Valencia L'Oceanografic Valencia News

I bring confirmation of some sad news. The birds that lived in the “wetlands” section of L'Oceanogràfic have been euthanized, following protocols against avian flu. It appears that pigeons living in abandoned sheds /warehouses near the park, may have been the source of the outbreak.
News item in a local newspaper, but without reference to the exact facility:
El Oceanogràfic detecta un caso de gripe aviar en una estancia cerrada

Pics. From the totally empty enclosure.

:(
A genuine shame to hear this ended up happening, is there any word for what will be done with the now empty aviary?
 
I hope the aquarium can overcome this trouble with bird flu and prevent its spread elsewhere. I would be hopeful that the park can find replacement avifauna for the aviary, perhaps taking the time to do some refurbishments or introduce new species as well.
