Parrot House Chester Zoo, opened 2005
The new offshow Parrot Breeding Centre as seen from the public footpath (October 2006). The large aviary is for Lilacine Amazon Parrots (Amazona autumnalis lilacina). The zoo places all its birds here and they are free to chose their own mates. Any which pair up are offered to other collections interested in breeding this parrot. Since this picture was taken a pathway has been opened so that visitors can have access to this aviary. The fence in the foreground is part of the bongo paddock. Nothing has yet bred in this new house, though the zoo are hopeful that red-vented cockatoos and red and blue lories will nest this year.
