Photo taken on the 12th May 2013.
Looks like a lot of Cattle Egrets and some larger (Adjutant?) storks in this large (walk-through?) aviary. And a whole pile of Fruit Bats? And Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot, Little Green Heron and Javan Tree Duck according to the signs. Can you provide a complete species list? What were your thoughts of this aviary?

those would be milky storks I think.
 
Upper Right. Hanging off roof. Visible on high zoom setting.

I'm guessing you've found them now?
ya I edited my reply because I made two mistakes. I wrote painted instead of milky for one. For the bats, I had the picture opened in large size but didn't realise the top was outside my screen (I had to scroll up, d'oh!) :D

Sorry, I had intended to:

Cattle egret
Blue-crowned hanging parrot
Javan tree duck
Greater mouse deer
Malayan flying fox
Striated heron
Spotted dove
White-breasted waterhen
Milky stork
Intermediate(?) egret
Tilapia

I believe that there also used to be saltwater crocodiles in here. The aviary is nice. It seems perhaps a little overcrowded and noisy but it's not too bad. As it stands, the other two impressive mixed-species exhibits stand above this, but crocodiles may have tipped the scales in the past. It is a walkthrough, with a wooden viewing platform.

Thanks. That sounds like a pretty good mix. Think I prefer it without crocodiles.
