    There is a small zoo in a mall basement in Udine italy that has a few hummingbirds but I can’t remember the name.

    Shortly before I started working at Vogelpark Walsrode in 1986 I visited the park as a normal visitor and just found an old note-book in which this visit is writen down. Among the species there was also the note that I saw 1 "Zimtschwanz kolibri" which is the Chestnut-breasted coronet - Boissoneaua matthewsii. Zootierliste only list Cologne as a former keeper of the species but Walsrode obviously kept the species also.

    A yet unnoted addition to this thread, San Diego's new Hummingbird House holds Anna's, Costa's, and Amazilia. :)
