Council Run Zoos

The aviaries in Pickering Park are still present - I visited a couple of weeks ago. Similar groups of animals are on display at West Park and at the AEC, so if one constitutes a zoo, why doesn't the other? (I'm not sure either have zoo licences)

What I meant about West Park was that the few aviaries are not (or at least were not when I last saw them) in an enclosed area separate from the rest of the park. I did not see them as an attraction in their own right even though they are a very welcome addition to the park.

Pleased to hear there are still aviaries in Pickering Park.

Some time after it opened the AEC contacted Sewerby Zoo for advice on zoo licensing, I do not know the outcome though.
