Jaguarundi and Moustached Emperor Tamarins in aviary-type enclosures, and Victoria Crowned Pigeon, Bali Starling and some sort of Pheasant were free-flying.

At least two of those species are not very New Guinea-ish

I believe redpanda said only the crowned pigeons are from New Guinea.

He identified it in his first post as the New Guinea Tropical Hall.

It seems more like a South American tropical hall.

From memory the indoor area is separated into two , one half for mainly South American species , the other half New Guinea .

Ironically there is an Amazonia tropical hall adjacent to this one which has very few Amazonian species, but they decided to put the Jaguarundi and Tamarin in this side instead.
