A pleasant area with aviaries with a mix of pigeons, turacos and passerines and landscaped seating and garden areas - incorporating those distinctive gorilla cage-front panels.

I don't know a name for it, but it was very fine - makes for good viewing at a distance but I always find it tricky when you're close up.

If you look carefully at the back wall of this aviary when you are in zoo, you will see that it is the back wall of the old penguin pool, which was subsequently converted into an exhibit for pudu.
