Welcome Falco ... great to have another Kiwi here.

Are we supposed to sing "Rock me Amadeus", or is that unrelated ? (the youngsters here may not get that reference !!)

Hehe - too old, too young ... seems like everybody just chooses to forget the 80's

great to have you on board !
I visited Orana Park a couple of years ago -- you were still building the tiger enclosure then .
I live in windy Wellington , but I dont work for the zoo .
Nga Manu sanctuary has a small walk through kea exhibit .
Keas have got to be my favourite birds , mainly due to their antics and intelligence . Perhaps you could get an old car wreck from a wreckers yard once a week so the keas can show their strength and abilities ( as well as getting their fill of windscreen rubber which they seem so fond of )

Hi Nigel
The plan for the aviary is a high country theme with a DOC hut with information about the bird etc.
