This exhibit has been used for temporary accommodation for everything from ibis to snow leopards in the last few years. I would guess these are intended for the (hopefully re-roofed!) Window on the Wild aviary - there have previously been Inca Terns in there and an avocet logo is used for the aviary on the map.
While they are in here they have access to a good-sized generic roofed outdoor exhibit as well.
Is it just me or does anyone else not like to see birds in an area with a glass viewing window. I just can't help thinking that if wild birds fly into windows on buildings then whats the likelyhood of a bird which is in a more restricted area flying into the glass.

This is why when new birds are added the windows are often whitewashed over so they learn where they are. Birds soon get used to what is around them - the reason wild birds have more problems is that they are more mobile and don't necessarily get the same level of familiarity.
