ring-tailed lemur cage, which also contains several cockatoos, ring-necked doves and silver pheasants - a rather odd combination! Not surprisingly there seems to be some tension between the cockatoos and lemurs.
I think a bit of both (mainly the former!), although they have been together for a fair while. The park's capuchins were recently moved from their old cage to a brand new heavily-planted island, and apparently the cockatoos are going to be moved to the old capuchin cage, along with monals and some other birds. I should add that there are two troops of ring-tails at Willowbank, the other of whom share their cage with Himalayan monals; and the ruffed lemurs share their cage with golden pheasants. Its just the cockatoos that seem so strange to have in there, given as cockatoos are to violence towards cohabitors.
the ring-tails are no longer mixed in this aviary, which now just houses the cockatoos and Lady Amherst's pheasants. The old capuchin cage I mentioned above now has blue-and-gold macaws and Himalayan monals.
