    The parrots have been taken off show temporarily. The Brazilian Cavy are still in with the Goeldi's Monkeys.

    Do you also know what’s being built next to the reptile house, my guess would be an extension to it, but I know not to jump to conclusions.

    Remember the wise words of Mark Twain 'never put off 'til tomorrow what can be done the day after tomorrow' ;)

    I prefer the quote "Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off indefinitely!" ;)

    Can’t recall seeing a new enclosure anywhere, unless they’re repurposing an old one, not sure if anything is still in the grey lemur enclosure, and it’s definitely not the extension for the reptile house yet.

    No clues on the Specialist Wildlife Services (where the van came from) site as it hasn't been updated for some time. I'm a bit bored of this now to be honest :)
