Up next was the Daintree Rainforest exhibit which was lushly-planted and had several glass viewing areas around the perimeter of the enclosure. I saw a few bird species in this enclosure; King Parrot, Topknot Pigeon, Brown Cuckoo Dove, Wonga Pigeon, Red-browed Finch and Plumed Whistling Duck. I also saw a well-constructed bower for a Satin Bowerbird, and Emerald Dove was signed but not seen in this particular area. This enclosure also housed a small group of Red-legged Pademelon and a Southern Cassowary (a male called Princess, who was originally believed to be female). Again, seeing birds behind glass was very unusual and mixing the cassowary with other smaller species even more so.
