The spoonbills are the biggest South American species in there, so I guess that works out, although they've got a fairly new pair of spoonbills in Amazonia already. The tanagers and oropendola would fit in just fine- as would the red crowned cardinals. Interestingly enough, when I asked if there would still be a kiwi exhibit when the bird house is renovated (there is a kiwi in the exhibit now, but it is not fooled by the artificial lighting), a volunteer said there'd be a nocturnal section, but didn't really answer my question. She did, however, say that kiwis would stay in the collection.

Experience Migration is really just gonna be like the American Trails renovations from a few years back except more of the focus is gonna be on exhibits instead of infrastructure. Not much is gonna change except things will just be renovated and the exhibit will have a "story" (migration). They're also making new aviaries and renovating the outside one. In the fiscal year 2017 budget request the zoo said that they plan on making the bird collection more diverse, so I wouldn't really think they would get rid of one of the more unique birds in their collection.
I don't think any zoo would be wise to drop kiwis from their collection. The only reason I asked is that kiwis don't migrate, at all. Glad the outside one is getting renovated, it is kind of bland right now.
ok...when they imported them? cause i know that the SSP and EEP decided that SSP will get grey titis and EEP red titis....but that was more than 3 years ago
There was still a dusky titi sign up in Amazonia- but that species wasn't in there (confirmed by volunteer). Whatever was in small mammal house was signed as coppery. I've honestly got no clue, so you all can figure it out.
