It's become somewhat of a hobby of mine to point out inconsistencies in the species chosen for Australian exhibits in zoos around the world. Is this meant to represent Australia? Because only one species is actually from here (green-naped lorikeets are a subspecies of rainbow lorikeets) and the other three are from around Indonesia.

Haha, agreed Pat. But imagine what African or Asian people think of their respective countries being represented in zoos. I think you'd be very hard pressed to find an Asian forest where red panda and sumatran tiger co-exist, or an African grassland where scimatar oryx dwell with meerkat. Must be 'zooetic' licence.
