I hope they have demonstrations with the bee-eaters, as that is one of my favorite things to see at the Bronx Zoo and this display looks perfect for it.
 
@nczoofan By bee-eater demonstration, do you mean feeding them (flying) insects?

I have seen a keeper feeding rollers with thrown/flying grasshoppers and that was pretty cool.
 
@KevinB exactly that. Bronx in particular has a hive on the roof of their bird house where keepers will gather live bees to feed their bee-eaters. Really neat stuff and I agree it would be amazing to see that in this fantastic looking display.
