Is this one of the Cassowary paddocks?

Yup - the very last one. The row of paddock at that end of the zoo now go Dhole (where they always were) - Michie's Tufted Deer - Chilean Pudu - Abyssinian Ground Hornbill.

Are the hornbills pinioned or full-winged? They are spectacular when/if they fly because they have white primaries.

This looks like a great exhibit for the hornbills.
