This aviary contains several foreign or invasive species that live in the Netherlands, in small to massive numbers.

Species in this aviary:
- Eurasian collared dove (The only species in the aviary that arrived in the Netherlands by it's own force and not by human hands)
- Rose-ringed/ring-necked parakeet (Considered an invasive species in Belgium and the Netherlands)
- Monk parakeet
- Alexandrine parakeet
- Common pheasant (Longest ago introduced species in the aviary: introduced by the Romans long ago)
- Sacred ibis
- Red-eared slider turtle
- Mandarin duck
- Wood duck
- Ruddy duck
- Golden orfe (Not present in May, put seen in of the pools in the aviary in August - not sure whether they are actually an introduced species though)

@German Zoo World They have since added blue-and-gold macaws and glossy ibis to the (invasive) alien species aviary, otherwise the species composition has to my knowledge remained the same.

Near this aviary there is an exhibit with striped skunk and raccoon (the latter is a very bad invasive species in Europe). And on the other side of the bird house there is a bit strangely an Australian aviary with birds with a relationship to humans (budgies, cockatiels, masked lapwing, zebra finch) and weirdly again some slider turtles.
