JungleWorld Original Plan

Shows internal lay out of JungleWorld with original animal species (not inclusive) noted.
Where excactly is the Aviary located, I think, at the end of the Lower montane Rain Forets, but it is a seperated room before the exit, is that corerct ? But it is not in this Plan, so was the Aviary included to Jungle World later ?

Strange, I've been to the Bronx-Zoo a few years ago-but I can't remember this Aviary, and I haven't made any pictures of it...can anybody give me an advice, how I can find pictures of the Aviary in the gallery, please ? And Iif i'm correct-that Aviary is an open walk-though Aviary , or are the birds seperated from the people by a fence ?
 
The first two exhibits in the building were designed to house Komodo dragons. You can still see the painted murals there that reflected a volcanic island habitat. No Komodos ever lived there, but for a time there were Mugger crocs and Water monitors.

Were the Komodo dragons not available when the time came to try and get them for the exhibit?

Komodo dragons seem to be everywhere now. Was Jungleworld built just before people figured out how to breed them in captivity?

Which aviary are you speaking about? The Bronx Zoo has several
There is a small ibis aviary attached to the outside of the building (well, it WAS ibis years ago)

The entire Lower Montane Forest area functions as a walk-through aviary. At various times it has included hornbills, painted storks, Green peafowl, avocets and flying foxes. There is no separate aviary inside Jungleworld, although as ZPM points out there is an exterior aviary for Waldrapp ibis built against one of the building walls.

Okay-thank you-there is a little missunderstanding, because Thylcinealive named it as"Aviary"...but no it is clear what he meant..

Do you know, what birds species are currently hold in this area ?

Another question-so the current exhibits for small clawd otters and Tree Kangaroos were designed for Komodo dragons ? Where you got this information ? Jungle World was opened in 1985, if i'm correct, and this time, Komdodo dragons were not easy available, this could be the reason, they never moved in.Fortuantely, I have to say-both exhibits are too small for them.

I have seen Painted Storks, Comb Ducks, and a Radjah Shelduck in here. If I remember correctly I've also seen Pied Avocets in here as well. Great Indian Hornbills used to be in here but I don't think they are anymore. I'm sure there are other small passerines I'm forgetting about.

- One small species people forget about is the prevost's squirrel in the last room.

I was going to say that but I wasn't sure if they could be seen in both the last room and the Malayan Tapir room as I know I've only ever seen them in the tapir room.
