I just added a photo showing the pond in which this koi lives, although it is a broader environmental photo.

The pond isn't really anything special, a concrete pond lined with plants in some areas and with water lilies during the warmer months. It houses a number of koi of different colors.

Not sure I understand what you’re trying to say, but either way, I’m sorry if I offended you @German Zoo World

My comment was in reference to Great Argus's post, not GZW's. I meant that Great Argus's post was justified given the original parameters given by GZW were Domestics and not Domestics and Breeding Forms. Never mind about it now, I can see you meant nothing by it, it just felt a bit unnecessary that's all :).

I did actually post an image of the aviary these budgies were in:

Walk-through aviary with pheasants, parakeets and a turaco, 2019-05-25 - ZooChat

They were kept in that walk-through aviary with other parakeet breeding forms, breeding form golden pheasants, an Australian king parrot and a turaco.
