Hi everyone, I planed to visit Dallas and Fort Worth Zoo at the beginning of next month, I heard that the bird exhibit of Fort Worth Zoo may closed some part due to construction. I wonder which part it would be influenced and what species I might not able to see, thanks!

Which bird exhibit are you referring to? There are aviaries scattered throughout the zoo.

  • Both Brazos & Travis were on display in adjacent exhibits. They have not yet been put together, but this may happen soon.
  • The swift fox exhibit is still empty in Texas Wild. The renovation on Mountains & Deserts is also ongoing, with the interior being largely gutted.
  • The Predators exhibit is still blocked off. I could see some glimpses and it looks high-quality like the other recent additions.
  • The zoo was working on the former parakeet walkthrough, which will likely reopen in some capacity soon.
  • Lots of bird moves going on. The older bird exhibits have all been blocked off, except for the birds of prey. Some species are still in them, yet it looked like access would not be restored any time soon. Toco Toucan are now housed in the former primate exhibit in the outdoor area of MOLA. The bird of paradise exhibit was empty as they were slated to move to the new Predators exhibit.
  • With all these moves and the closure of the stingray area I can only assume the new Jungle exhibit will break ground sometime this year. But we will see and wait for more details.
  • Also I saw two wild armadillos around the zoo which was a delight.

I see from the form talks about the news, so I'm not sure which part was influenced, sorry for the inconvenience.

Most of this is out of date now, as Predators opened the other day. If you look in the media gallery, there are photos of the different aviaries there thanks to @Ggrarl
 
Many of the older bird exhibits have now been closed. Almost all species have moved over though to either the predators complex, old parrot walkthrough, and other areas of the zoo. So I wouldn’t expect to miss many species although I can’t tell you every species is still on display.

Thanks for your information!
 
Which ones are on display and which ones aren't sometimes varies, but I do have a pretty extensive list.
