Boyd's Animals
Old 20-01-2008
Auckland Zoo's animals originally came from Boyd's Zoo in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga...

This Zoo became inoperable for Boyd mainly due to the local council...

This newspaper article in the The Auckland Weekly News is from June 1922 and reads:

Wanted - A zoo for Auckland: some of the animals, formerly housed at Onehunga, which are to be destroyed unless the city agrees to purchase them.
