If you want to learn all the species at the zoo that are on display and all the exhibits and the history of them, then check out my Cincinnati Zoo Wikia Travel page. If you would like to change something please tell me and I will.

At least 12 zoos in Europe have Black-faced Ibis (and Berlin's are noted on Zootierliste as being specifically the nominate form T. m. melanopis as well: ZootierlisteHomepage).
They're one of my favourite species actually.
Blackbrook also has the very similar Buff-necked Ibis, T. caudatus.

ISIS is (and always has been) incomplete. Only zoos that choose to report to it report to it - Berlin famously hasn't in a long time, for instance - so nothing else being listed on ISIS does not mean nothing else is out there.
It also depends how accurate they choose to be (or are able to be) with ID. It's often the case that all (or most) of the captive individuals of the species come from a similar locality - wherever it was easiest to get them from, presumably. Hence all Europe's sitatunga are gratus, for example. So it's quite possible (or even likey) that birds just listed as T. melanopis are actually the type subspecies as well.
EDIT: Just had a look at the ISIS listing for T. melanopis and if you notice it describes T. m. melanopis as a 'Synonym of T. melanopis' - i.e. ISIS doesn't consider there to be any valid subspecies, in which case Cincinnati's bird is the same as all the others anyway.
