cant wait to visit this, its amazing, but how do you keep track of the different species breeding and deaths in there?
 
Artificial nest boxes are provided and placed in areas where the keepers have access to. There are only a few trees with large enough cavities in the aviary so the birds nest in the boxes.There is a path below the bridges which is accessible to staff only, they can comb the ground area for dead birds, but its still not easy being a large, steep and thickly vegetated area.

Additionally, a large indoor cage is located at one end of aviary, with food placed there in the mornings and evenings. I believe most of the sick or weak birds prefer to stay around that area for convenient access to food. Any lethargic bird spotted will be removed and kept under observation.
