      An aviary for blue peafowls??!! I presume I missed a law change in UK (otherwise that doesn't make sense)...

      I don't understand your post zoomaniac. Blue Peafowl are commonly kept in the U,K,

      @bongorob: That's exactly the point. They are commonly kept in the UK (and the rest of Europe) AS FREE RANGING animals (with success over many decades). So why built an AVIARY for them??????

      Thanks for explaining zoomaniac. I suspect the aviary will not just be for peafowl, in my experience they hardly ever fly anyway.

      Your very welcome. Hope to see Chester Zoo in person this year for the first time. It should get the great honor to be my 200th zoological institution then...:D
