    Have you been to Franklin Park Zoo in Boston? Their condors have one of the most spacious aviaries I've ever seen, especially for only two birds.

    I'd have to disagree on the Andean Condor exhibit. I'd give it to Brandywine Zoo. The exhibit extends back behind the bushes, as well.

    That's fair.
    Yeah, I've seen pictures of the new one. It's really nice, definitely among the best in the country.
