Nice collection and a nice little nocturnal house but sadly no nocturnal birds in this house. They do have a smaller nocturnal house with kiwis, but the viewing is less good in that one.
 
@KevinB

Seems like a nice nocturnal area, but indeed a strange choice to not include birds. Seems like it would've been a good opportunity to showcase owls, tawny frogmouths or stone-curlews
 
@Mr Gharial In my experience most stone-curlews also show themselves well in normal aviaries, but my first thought for a bird in a nocturnal house would be small or medium owls.
