I visited again yesterday, not much new news to report (Te Wao Nui updates here: http://www.zoochat.com/17/te-wao-nui-review-236615/) except that:
-Although there is now a gate up semi-blocking the native aviaries by the old kiwi house, with a sign saying no animals on display here (note it did not say you couldn't go past into this area), there were still a pair of brown teal in their aviary. The blue duck pond had been drained.
-A concrete bridge has replaced the wooden one you cross to enter Hippo River by the flamingoes. Some heavy machinery was also working between the old Elephant and Giraffe Houses, but I don't know what they were doing.
-I suspect the banded rails in the Australian lorikeet aviary have been moved into Te Wao Nui's Wetland aviary.
-Still no sign of the flying foxes.

Karaka arrived today. She will be in quarantine for a month before joining Zabulu and Rukiya

She was out in the pridelands today, looking much smaller than the other giraffes and rather wary.
