Well I know the junglefowl is very elusive (according to a keeper I talked to) and has been known to not be seen by anyone for days at a time. The Kagu I don't think anyone has ever seen.

~Thylo:cool:

- The exhibt has so much room in the middle area where birds can hide. Also the zoo has a lot of the birds off exhibit. The central park zoo has a huge bird collection for its size. It has 100 different species according to the annual report in a 6 acre site. They also have many rarities such as Chinese Merganser, Crested Coua, and a King Eider. The also claim to have the nations largest collection of Sea Ducks.

All very true. I'd very much like to revisit Central Park soon in order to try and find more birds, particularly the Kagu and Sri Lankan Junglefowl.

CPZ's recently-departed director (now at Toledo) came up as a bird curator. He added many species and beeeding successes to this collection. Will it last?

- I hope it does last. The zoo has little room for mammals and reptiles dont fit in thematically to most parts of the zoo so birds are a major group at the zoo. The childrens zoo now has a very nice collection now. The only thing is a lack of space for new exhibits at the zoo. The zoo should use the turtle pond area as it is the last area open for development. The zoo has a bird collection now that rivals its sister zoo in the bronx. The bronx just has more birds off exhibit. To complete there bird collrction I feel all they need is a bird of prey species such as stellars sea eagles in the arctic area or bald eagle in the temparate area.
