Thank you for posting this species list too! This aviary is a prettier one than the other and I like the diversity of species with a trend toward an African emphasis!
@Summer Tanager This aviary is quite nice! But I do have a few criticisms when it comes to it. Until 2020 this whole space was dedicated to farm animals (Friesian cows, donkeys, alpacas,...), and then it was renovated to what is now. The aviary is very pretty, I like the shrubbery, and gives great cover to the birds whom if they don't want to be seen can easily just hide away for the whole day, but for such a wader-specific lineup it really lacks a proper water point. Flamingoes, lapwings, three different duck species, egrets,... only have access to a tiny pool, and I feel that needs fixing as soon as possible. Another problem I have with this aviary is that it only houses two flamingoes... which is quite a sad sight.
In conclusion, it's a really nice enclosure for some of the birds living in it, but for the rest... It leaves a lot to desire. The construction of this aviary and the removal of the farm animals also gave place to the "rebranding" of the area, going from "Granja" (Farm) to "Aves" (Birds). This area houses both walkthrough aviaries and the park's birds-of-prey area, making this a sensible move, but the remnants of the old farm area such as the rabbit and guinea-pig pens, goat and sheep enclosure, and general farm theming are still up. With the park's current attempts to get into EAZA and the construction of the new farm in another spot of the park, I do have hope that the area's domestics are moved to said spot and the space they leave behind is used to house interesting avian taxa, and hopefully give the flamingoes and other water birds in this aviary a proper group and exhibit.
@SivatheriumGuy That would be a great idea and it makes a lot of sense to focus on other avian exhibits, including a third aviary with a larger water feature for the wading birds, after the remaining domestic animals are moved to the new farm exhibit.
