You haven't actually paid note to the last one so farI'll say it again, if you tell me what the logic behind your guesses is, I can tell you if you are thinking along the right lines.
I'm guessing it's a bird.
the enclosure is overlooked by the zoo's blacksmith shop
Mindanao bleeding-heart pigeon: wishy-washy liberal equals bleeding heart. Mindanao is a volcanic island.
part of my reasoning for the lorikeet which comes from Mindanao.
I was actually thinking of Luzon Bleeding-Heart Pigeon, but I was willing to accept this guess too, as it also fits
the riddle was put into my mind when I was recalling the fact the June 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo is one of my earliest "world event" memories which I recall clearly.Your turn, Chli!
At least I got the volcano part right

Childonias, wow you solved TLD's riddle but Luzon and Mindanao are in the same family of bleeding-hearts.

Not Etna? or Pompei?
I'm pretty sure he is aware of this fact
Etna seldom *stops* erupting

Your turn, Chli!
So does the zoo keep both species of bleeding-hearts?
~Thylo
It does indeed, along with the closely related Goldenheart Dove (Gallicolumba rufigula).
I just had to do it.
Yes I do remember the eruption of Pomepii, although I identified more with Herculaneum, the more upmarket area, it reminded me so much of Stoke.
You'll go blind if you keep doing it.....

All the broken pottery, burnt-out shells of what once were houses and skeletal forms lying in the streets with pain still etched upon their faces?
