Thank you! This was very helpful. This is one of the Zoo's that I've been interested in visiting this year. It has a very nice bird collection for its size, and the Green Broadbill (haven't seen one since the early 1990s), the Blue-billed Curassow, and the impressive collection of exotic doves would be big treats! It's interesting to me how much the Chinese Hwamei (Melodious Laughing Thrush), the Chestnut-backed Thrush, and the Blue-crowned Laughing Thrush have taken off in U.S. zoos during the past decade! I hope that the Green Broadbill and Scarlet-faced Liocichla do the same.
