This aviary holds species foreign to and introduced in the Netherlands and Belgium. The aviary is quite big and looks rather appealing. I like it and think it is a great addition to the zoo (also, the tale about introduced species is an interesting and important one).
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)
