It can't be easy to spot the owls in a large, well planted aviary. I hope there are no Strix species in there, they can be very dangerous in the breeding season.

The aviary actually been divided into two parts:

In the first section two species: Bubo bubo bubo, Bubo scandiacus

The latter one has it own smaller aviary inside the first section, so it is actually a walk-through-section with Bubo bubo bubo.

Second section: Asio otus otus, Tyto alba guttata, Strix aluco, Strix nebulosa lapponica

The latter one was rearing youngs which was resulted in agression towards the visitors, so the staff put many branches just next to the visitor pathway (see the enclosed link, page 17.).

I would expect the owls to eventually eat each other, even if they don't attack the visitors. Not a good choice for a walk through.
