Waited around in that sweltering dome for about an hour before they all sprang into life. This was them settling down again.

No, they were indoors. I was completely lost today as the only time I visited before was five years ago, so the dome wasn't there. How do you see the outdoor bit? I'm revisiting tomorrow. This time I will accept a map on entering as the one on the app did'nt help me much

I was finally able to visit for the first time during the summer vacation. I suggest entering in the mock rock entrance near the plaza next to the bongos and such. From there you walk the full spiral in the dome, and then exit between the restaurant and gift shop. You'll come out at the back of the park and from there you walk around the dome back to where you entered. That outside walk contains all the aviaries
 
@littleRedPanda near the new entrance (on the rear side of the Dome) there's a large aviary designed to be the outdoor Douc exhibit. It seems that it was difficult to keep them outside, so this aviary has been occupied by many birds instead, at least from summer 2021 to spring 2022.
There have been Ibises and Spoonbills, then White Storks and finally Vultures and a Ground Hornbill.
I don't know if the curators crew has been able to bring back the Doucs since (the primates stay in the indoor exhibit otherwise).
