      @Breckenridge Thanks for the list. One correction: the African Pygmy Goose is not new and have always been present, unless they were removed between 2019-2021?
    • Breckenridge
      @Astrotom3000 I could have sworn that the pygmy geese had left the aviary some years ago.

      @Breckenridge They were present during my Oct 2019 visit (even got pictures of them). I haven't had a chance to visit the zoo since, so I am not sure if they have been removed and then added back in the interim.

      Also, while I was looking through photos from that visit, I noticed the following species are not present on the signage in your photo.
      • Masked Lapwing
      • Fairy-bluebird
      • Blue-winged Leafbird
      • Blue-crowned Laughing Thrush
      • Scarlet-faced Liocichia
      • Blue-naped Mousebird
      • Ringed Teal
      • Amethyst Starling
      • Scarlet Ibis
      Do you know if any of these species are still present?

      Funnily enough, the new species are in the same spots on the sign that the missing species once occupied, so I wonder if this is partly just an issue with space on the signage.
    • Breckenridge
      @Astrotom3000 I do know that the scarlet ibis were replaced by the hadada and white-winged ibises. Haven't seen the others in a long time.
