Whittier Southeast Asian Exhibits 1983 - Aviary

This set of exhibits opened in 1983, replacing several baboon and ape exhibits. This set of exhibits still exists, and was renovated and rebranded Absolutely Apes several years ago. The exhibits include an indoor monkey house with two exhibits, two orangutan exhibits, two siamang island exhibits, a medium walkthrough aviary, and renovation of a large walkthrough aviary. I believe the original inhabitants in the monkey house were silvered leaf monkeys and douc langurs, and the orangutans were Bornean in one enclosure and Sumatrans in the other.

Yes, and in fact I think it was called that when it first opened, not sure though.
 
Parker Aviary was my favorite all the aviaries at the zoo. Mainly because I had a pair of Great Argus walking around my feet, two Hornbills flying above my head, and I saw a Red-knobbed Hornbill male feeding the female inside the tree.
