I checked geomorph's list of species and on 11/26/13 I think this aviary was the one that was empty. So sorry I don't know. Honestly the only reason I noticed the change was because the male is very loud and vocal. This pair is in there with Kenyan Crested Guineafowl now.

I found a groundskeeper who remembered that this aviary had blue turaco in it.

Yes, this aviary was empty when I visited recently, so it is great to see another hornbill species on exhibit now!

Interesting new species !!

Also yes, it was a Blue Touraco in there before if I recall properly. Its beside the go away bird and the crested ibis, right ?

Oh, now I remember this aviary. I liked the Blue Turaco in this aviary. They were more visible and active than the ones in Ituri Forest.

I'm actually kind of happy the touraco is out of there, whenever I stopped by it would always be pacing around the top looking kind of agitated.

Plus its more fun to watch the 3(?) in the Scripp's aviary go whipping around from one side of the aviary to the other :P
