Since my last visit, there have been a few minor changes in the collection of Sylvan Heights Bird Park, so I figured an updated species list was in order. Like I did with my previous species list for Sylvan Heights, I will be listing the birds not only by what aviary they can be found in, but due to the bulk of the species kept here being waterfowl, I will also list waterfowl and non-waterfowl species separately for each zone.
Date of Visit: 10/12/24
