This looks good for the owls, although I don't remember seeing this?

It's between the birma-lake and the new leopard-enclosure.

Walk-through-aviaries with birds of prey are pretty uncommon, aren´t they? I think this the first time I notice one.

But it isnt one. There is a normal net in front of the cage.

Oh I see......... !

Couldn´t see the net, still can´t in fact.

But then, and if only to get away from my embarrassment : ARE there any walk-through-aviaries with birds of prey anywhere in the zoo world?

Owl walk-throughs are getting more common, certainly in Germany with native species - Walsrode, Cologne and Dortmund all spring to mind.

Calgary has one with several hawk species and another with great grey owls. Phoenix used to have a walk-through great horned owl aviary.
