Things sure change fast! What a wonderful zoo for birds, since so many are located in walk-through enclosures (although not these particular exhibit birds).

 

[Mehdi]

That is correct, both are gone from the collection.

Thanks for you reply! A damn shame then, although the bird collection is still wonderful and the recent addition of Venezuelan troupial crowns it.

Troupials aren't new to the collection. Last summer they were exhibited in the South America walk-through in one of the side enclosures.

The log aviary you list as being empty, is actually where the Yellow-headed Parrots (Tres Marias subspecies), Yellow-collared Macaws, Green Jay (Inca subspecies), and some of the Thick-billed Parrots are located.

Red-footed tortoise has joined the Hyacinth, Blue-throated and Red-fronted Macaws and it is a Yellow-naped Amazon, not macaw in that exhibit.

Red-footed tortoise has joined the Hyacinth, Blue-throated and Red-fronted Macaws and it is a Yellow-naped Amazon, not macaw in that exhibit.

Do they have active parrot conservation work going on (with threatened species like Tres Marias yellow-headeds, thick-billeds as well as hyacinth, red-fronted and blue-throated macaws?

Things sure change fast! What a wonderful zoo for birds, since so many are located in walk-through enclosures (although not these particular exhibit birds).

Oh, the Wrinkled Hornbill has switched back into the original exhibit.

Other change of note, the Eastern Green Mamba has been replaced on exhibit by a couple Cape Twig Snakes.
