Having the two humans inside the exhibit allows for a certain degree of perspective. I cannot recall if there is another section to the enclosure, but I certainly hope so as the exhibit does not seem to be very large. Does it stretch around to the left and out of view or can everything be seen in this photo?

It's pretty much all it other than the tall cliff on the left side. I'm definitely not a fan of it either due to the obviously small size, especially for the kings. I believe that's why the population has gone down noticeably over the last few years. The zoo has announced renovations for the bird house so hopefully this will be part of it.
 
I feel as though the angle of this photo makes it look smaller than it actually is, and there is an alcove in the back left of the exhibit that offers up some more land area for the birds, but it is certainly not large, by any means... The zoo knows this, however, and an expansion of this exhibit is one of the features talked about for the renovation coming to the bird house this winter.
