    Considering that it is Australia Zoo, probably.

    The zoo has announced that 'bindi's island' will open on December 26. This is the long awaited ring tailed lemur and tortoise island.

    Also featured will be blue and gold along with scarlet macaws, alligator snapping turtles and Fijian iguanas.

    More info here - Australia Zoo - Bindi's Island

    I'm guessing that the macaws will be displayed in the "bird on a stick" method (ie. pinioned)? Or possibly walked around by keepers?

    EDIT: Also interesting to note is that this will be the first time that Australia Zoo has displayed primates ever!
