It's been almost a year since my visit so I'm not sure if my data will be up to date, but I can tell you which species are present as of my March 2024 visit

still there:
Indian white-rumped vulture - BTS, only comes out for shows at the amphitheter which are currently stopped while they build the ambassador exhibits.
Mexican green jay
Pale spear-nosed bat
Northern bird snake
Western twist-neck turtle
Ruschenberger tree boa
Chiapas giant musk turtle
Black-necked aracari
Central American River turtle
Nutria - lives BTS only
Short-breasted oriole - if you mean Spot-Breasted Oriole, then yes they still had it as of my last visit.

definitely not there:
Cape Steenbok - not seen this species in any of my visits, so they likely went out of them prior to my first visit in 2021
Isla Mona robber frog - the colony was sent to Zoo Atlanta
Mountain bamboo partridge
Greater western mastiff bat - never seen it, the only bats signed are Jamaican, Seba's, and Pale Spear-Nosed. likely also lost before 2021
Ashy dove - never seen, likely was gone before 2021
Sunda teal - never seen, likely was gone before 2021

unknown - quite a few of these species were in the Wings of Asia Aviary which was closed for a long time and has reopened only semi-recently, so I will be going off the online bird guide

Buff banded rail - Still signed online
Black bulbul (or ANY of the bulbul species) - Still signed online(alongside red-vented and white-eared)
Green junglefowl - Still signed online
African openbill - not signed but might still be there as it was present before the aviary closed for renovations
Collared kingfisher - not signed but might still be there as it was present before the aviary closed for renovations
Cuban grassquit - was never signed in the exhibit, I only saw it once in 2023
New Zealand shoveler - Still signed online
Spotted dove - not signed but might still be there as it was present before the aviary closed for renovations
Red-knobbed imperial pigeon - Still signed online
Black-collared starling - Still signed online
White-eared catbird - Still signed online[/QUOTE]
