Humans are very common in aviaries. Especially walk-through aviaries.

Yes, but zoos generally rotate them, not with other species of animals, but with other humans specimens.

They mostly rotate on a 10-20 minute basis in the aviary. Very high turnover rate. Although there's a few with cameras and binoculars that stay much, much longer on exhibit.

Last time I was at Edinburgh I’m quite sure the dik diks were in an outdoor aviary

It just depends on which human. Some like to attack or poison the birds while others are very gentle with other birds. Caution should always be taken when mixing humans with any species as they have gained the nickname the most dangerous animal in the zoo.

And then there's those humans who think vultures aren't birds, (wait, what?)
