* In the rainforest building I saw an unsigned green-winged Ducula-like pigeon, which I assumed to be Ducula aenea. According to Zootierliste, the only two fitting species are D. pinon (but it did not have a red eye ring) or D. rosacea. The latter has recently joined the collection and therefore it would be no surprise if they went unsigned. I leave it out unless I get more certainty (eg if someone knows that the D. rosacea is indeed in the rainforest building).

It is indeed D. rosacea, they have a single male
After checking pictures, I think it is indeed D. rosacea. I also forgot another bird (which happens when you see so many!), so my list should be updated:
