Chester Zoo Project - Help Wanted

While we are still on the topic of Islands, would I be right in thinking that the birds currently in the Bali Starling Temple include Bali Starlings, Java Sparrows, Pied Imperial Pigeons, and yellow-backed chattering lories to the side?

Unless things have changed since late May, that would be correct.
 
Does anyone know where in the zoo Bronze-Tailed Peacock Pheasants are? Also, does the zoo still have the Turkish Spiny Mice or did they get rid of them?

Both species are offshow, hopefully the pheasants will be moved over to Islands for the new aviary.

Ohh I would like that providing they don't go in the rainbow aviarys I'm fine they have enough pheasant species right now even though reeves seem to have gone.

Pheasants are ideal for mixed aviaries, they spend most of their time at ground level and are not normally a problem for other non-pheasant species.

Fair point but for an aviary advertisied as for song birds 7 species to me seemed a little much, but I'm yet to see many of those species so the aviaries are a good chance to see them.
