      Nice shot ! I wish they didn't move these birds to their current behind glass enclosure

      Being displayed behind glass is still better than the thick mesh they are displayed behind at Weltvogelpark Walsrode, mind you @Semioptera :p as it is possible with luck to get a reflection-free photograph in the former kind of enclosure, but near-impossible to get a mesh-free shot in the latter!

      Yes ... thats true. I couldn't get any good shot of this species at Walsrode, although I didn't really trying hard since there are tons of species there that are rare in US and needs my attention (Coua, Vangas, Horned Parakeet, Curassows, etc) :p

      @dinosaur50 Please do. I visited there 2 weeks ago and spent 2 days there. Both days raining, but I had great time. It's best zoo for bird lovers :)

      @Semioptera - I hope you will be uploading plenty of photographs :) I visited in June and like yourself spent two days there; eventually I will be writing about it in my trip report threads.

      Come to think of it, why don't you post a short account of what you thought about the collection? It would be interesting to get the perspective of a North American on Walsrode.

      @TeaLovingDave Will do ;)
      Regarding short account, I think I will pass since I'm not good at writing hehe ... I visited 10 zoos in 3 weeks: Barcelona, Santillana, Artis, Walsrode, Berlin, Tierpark, Plzen, Prague, Madrid & Faunia.
      Berlin was dissappointing - pheasantry & aviaries in renovation. Didn't see species I wanted: Trumpet Manucode, James & Puna Flamingo.:(
      My overall impression: European zoo is slightly better than US zoo in terms of exhibit, landscape, etc. All those zoos are beautiful.
      As for collections - US & Europe are equal. :)
