SAN DIEGO ZOO COMMITS KAGU FRAUD!

So I really wanted to see a kagu and made a real effort to find where their aviary was. I found the right enclosure and was thrilled to see a grey bird that didn't look exactly like picture, but it was the only grey bird in the enclosure. I got home and looked up kagu pictures on the internet and these are clearly not kagus. AUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!
Perhaps the zoo should be accusing you of zoological ineptitude? :)
These are indeed Papuan Mountain Pigeons, quite distinct from Kagus!

I'm not sure that their accusation would hold up in court. As far as I could tell there were no kagus in that enclosure, and for a kagu beginner these small grey birds hidden in foliage did somewhat resemble what was on the sign.
