Most of the plants were put in more than ten years ago, the area hasn't been used for anything for a very long time. You can see a concrete retaining wall in the exhibit (on the right) - this wall is about half way into the exhibit, so it has a reasonable depth.

The only thing I'd be concerned about, though, is the horizontal cables. I think if a Casso ran at them full pelt, they might just end up going through.
 
I would tend to agree Hix, maybe Black tubular steel pool fencing would have been a better option
 
Parrot, thats exactly what I thought just like Jurassic Park!
 
I'm surprised they'd allow the birds and visitors to get so close to each other. Either can be nasty.
 
There is a gap of a few feet between the low concrete wall and the fence, I know in the photo it looks like the fence is right up beside the wall.
