Bird valley will be turned into an amphitheater for bird shows in the near future.

That's a nice mix, especially the three macaw species. One common zoo practice that I personally don't like is clipping macaw wings and sticking them on an island. Glad to see Dallas has them in a large free flight (and I presume they are not clipped, though maybe they are?).

The ones in the aviary are not clipped, although macaws through out the rest of the zoo, are.

Somehow I missed this exhibit when I was there last weekend. Where is it?

This is bird valley, which is closed off now due to construction.

OK, thanks. Now I don't feel like I missed anything (except the bug house - I should have taken the time to run inside there).

Are all of these species still here in Bird Valley?
