Quite possibly my favorite exhibit at SDZ. Fantastic combination of rarely-seen species, and this is one instance where an all-year outdoor exhibit really does make a difference.
 
I found some photos in Flickr of the birds in this reptile exhibit.

In the first photo it shows that the bird is not pinioned, so I wonder how the birds stay in the exhibit?...

If you can't see the photos go to Flickr and search "San Diego Zoo birds lizards" in the search bar.
 
Has this enclosure in Reptile Mesa been bulldozed? If so, what a tragedy!
