I could do a review of San diego, Los Angeles, Jeresy, Chester, Blackbrook, London, Lille, Alpen zoo (Innsbruck), Basel, Antwerp, Parc Paradisio and Zurich for you as they are the zoos that I've been to most recently. All complete with pictures ( I also have video clips)

Having you connected to my site would be great, as i think your own site is pretty good. I especially like your showcase/article on the Birds of Paradise . If you like, i could send you an e-mail with more info on how the descriptions should look like? It wont be before until monday though, as i'm going to see some zoos over the weekend.

The birds of Paradsie Article was a nightmare to do, as the pictures kept deleting themselves, and the film would not stay on the top of the page. I like that page too. It's probably my favourite page.

I'd quite like an e-mail to help me set it out.

Just a note on that: You don't need a car to visit Safari Beekse Bergen. In fact, some animals can only be seen by walking to them! Like the elephants and the three new chimpanzees houses. Once you paid the entrance fee you can choose how the cross the park, by boat (no extra costs), by bus (also for free) or just walking. Or you can mix these three.

I visit your site (fortunately I can read a little Danish), and it is very informative. I hope to see some Dutch zoos one day

Is walsrode one of the next reviews?

Looking at your picture of a chinese monal, I am inclined to think that it is a himalayan monal. It has a crest that has a sort of pendant on the end, while the chinese monal, has a straight crest, that can only be seen when observed closely. The tals are also different. The monal in your picture has a rufous tail which ias charicteristic feature of the himalayans. Chinese have a greenish/blueish iridecent tail.

First i was planning to translate a few Danish reviews, but if Walsrode is a "popular demand" i can do that next?

Just keep in mind that it is not the best picture, with the colours and all. The zoo clearly states that it is a chinese monal and NOT a himalayan. But since it is a smaller zoo, they could be mistaking. I am not the best to judge, since mammals is mostly my ekspertise.

Introduction
Old 03-10-2007

Hi my names is Brian.
I am a serious collector of zoo material with over 30,000 items in my collection ranging from zoo guides to Zoo tickets and everything else in between.
I Have visited over 320 Zoos and wildlife parks worldwide including many in Continental Europe and quite a few in the USA.
Does anyone else collect guides etc and would people be interested in exchanging material with me.

Do you mean that you want me to translate the names of the zoos that i have written reviews for in Danish, like København Zoo to Copenhagen Zoo? If not, im not quite sure what you mean...
