- Thread starter avian83
- Start date
Well with the bird house and the renovated Pheasantry you have named the 2 main bird areas in the zoo. There may be some interesting species of owl for a non-european near the elephants and there are a lot of waterfowl species in the different ponds in the middle of the zoo, for a species list check: http://www.zootierliste.de/en/zoosmap.php?showzoo=10000448
it should be quite up-to date.

Thank you. I already checked Zootierliste and have a full list for the zoo. If anyone has a list organized by exhibit, please let me know! Happy holidays!
Artis' Birdhouse has 3 sections;
the coastal section is home to a colony of inca terns as well as blacksmith plover.
the rainforest section is home to lilac-breasted roller, bali starling, wattled jacana, sunbittern, violet plaintain-eater, white imperial-pigeon, emerald pigeon, nicobar pigeon, egyptian plover and white-faced scops owl. the desert section houses crested tinamou, waldrapp ibis, burrowing owl, madagascar foby, blue-faced honeyeater and hyraxes. And there's probably something I forgot. There's also kea's and hornbills in seperate enclosures.
The pheasantry holds bare-faced currasow, occelated turkey, western black crowed crane, red-legged sierema, scarlet ibis, sacred ibis, hamerkop, regent parrot, macaws and ofcourse some pheasants, among others.
Ofcourse things could have changed since my last visit.
