Same! I have never seen them before. When I was about to go to the aviary I was said in my head, "I wonder if they've changed it yet, I really, really hope they di-Oh wow they did!"

Edit:

"Kudu will be please to see this!"

Haha, well thank you. Did you happen to see any on your visit?

Yes and they larger than than I thought they would be and are very beautiful birds.

Yes, they are certainly beautiful; they're among my favorite birds. How many of them were there?

1 male and 1 female.

Okay, thanks. That is how many there were before they were taken off exhibit. It's nice to know that the male was on exhibit. I found that he wasn't on exhibit nearly as often as the female. I think I've only seen him once or twice.
