Favorite macaw enclosure?

Houston Zoos macaw enclosure is pretty good, although I think it shows just how pathetically low the standard of exhibitry is for these birds in the US if this is one of the better ones. I look forward to the day when the parrot-on-a-stick display will be left in the past for good. The best macaw enclosures are the ones that allow them to freely fly through through large spaces, such as the geodesic aviary at Queens Zoo.

I also recommend Bioparc de Doue la Fountaine with its enormous South American aviary. Unconventional in appearance, but with a highly intriguing design and serving as an excellent space for the macaws and numerous other birds that reside in the habitat.

I think the winner however would have to be the Crimson Wetlands aviary at the newly unveiled Bird Paradise in Singapore. There's nothing quite like seeing a flock of colorful macaws soaring through the sky. Truly outstanding!

Singaporean is just amazing! I especially like the variety of animals and their beautiful appearance!
Huge parrot aviaries are not difficult to build. Bird park Villars de Dombes in France has several huge mixed aviaries similar in size to Doue made from simple wooden poles and what appears to be rolls of a standard chainlink fence mesh. They are perfect for visitors and birds with probably very low price. Maybe the climate without heavy snowfall and typhoons helps, maybe will not last many decades, but the result outweighs it.
