What does it normally hold? The sign said off exhibit for season.

These are White-naped Cranes by the way, not Red-crowned.

The seasonal exhibit is hyacinth macaws. The tragopans used to live there in the winter. I am unsure who will live there since there is a new tragopan habitat.

Odd exhibit for macaws, I was expecting coati or something!

They actually used to have Coati at Akron, but that was torn down for Grizzly Ridge. Maybe that's where they can bring them back some day

For anyone who's been at Akron recently, has Eko's new partner arrived?

That's Diburu. She left on the 15th. I was curious if a replacement was known or on the way

I believe there were ring-necked doves (?) in there in the winter at one time...

The future cinereous vulture habitat is vacant and ready for the new vultures. The white-naped cranes have moved next door with the geese and deer. All species now have official signs up at the habitat too. The new female tiger arrived this past week and is in quarantine. The zoo now has three pairs of white storks. The zoo is looking for a new species to live in the hyacinth macaw habitat in colder weather. The former emerald tree boa habitat that used to be in the Komodo Kingdom habitat gallery is now located to the former touch tank in Curious Creatures.

Is curious creatures permanent now or will it be moving in future? I was under the impression this year it would move

I am not sure. The exhibit was plugged in. The boas are now in the Madagascar Building. It could be a new species could move in that position. Something else could be placed in the exhibit's old position. I wish they would remove the old touch tank and replace it with something. The zoo also now has a new young octopus.

If I'm remembering correctly the touch table was closed in July. I could be thinking of something else though.
