      Based on your pictures, they certainly seem to have some interesting things in here!
      Do you have a species list?
    • devilfish
      They do indeed!
      I was in a great rush and so didn't photograph everything.

      Here's a list of what I did record inside the house:

      Southern tamandua

      Fischer's lovebird
      Roulroul partridge

      Star finch
      Double-barred finch
      Red-throated parrotfinch
      Nicobar pigeon

      Lesser sulfur-crested cockatoo
      Common waxbill
      Long-tailed paradise whydah

      Royal starling
      Bali starling
      White-bellied go-away bird
      Elegant crested tinamou

      Amethyst starling
      Bearded barbet
      Green turaco
      Southern bald ibis
      Greater blue-eared glossy starling
      Great slaty woodpecker

      Chinese quail
      Japanese quail
      Lesser cuckoo
      Blue-and-white flycatcher

      Narcissus flycatcher
      Common kingfisher

      Collared scops owl
      Brown hawk owl

      (mixed species are grouped together; I'm happy to clarify or give scientific names on request)

      Not far off Swedish Zoo Fan's 2013 list, although there were some notable absences this year: http://www.zoochat.com/241/ueno-zoo-species-list-july-2013-a-349232/

      Thanks for that, some interesting species indeed.
      Swedish Zoo Fan's list includes Long-tailed Paradise Whydah (Vidua paradisaea) so I assume that's the species that you saw?
    • devilfish
      No problem. Yes it is, I'll clarify that on my list.
    There are no comments to display.
