    The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta doesn't have Birds other than African Penguins, Which Really Makes me Mad. I think that the Aquarium Needs More Birds in their Collection. What Kind of Birds do you Think they should Add to the Aquarium?

    Just curious here: why does it make you mad that an aquarium thousands of miles from you doesn't have more birds?

    Aquarium = fish.

    Aviary = birds.

    Perhaps you are confusing the two?

    I really hope in the future they need to expand the aquarium with a new Antarctic penguin exhibit (featuring emperor, king, chinstrap, rockhopper, gentoo, and Adelie penguins), a walk-through lorikeet aviary, and an Atlantic puffin exhibit.

    I would love a penguin exhibit like that, but I simply do not understand why an aquarium should have more birds. I would rather see an expansion that houses bull- and tiger sharks.

    ^thats a nice idea:D or maybe manatee, as those are the only too major species I can think of that the aquarium doesn't exhibit (dis-cluding Orca)

    ^sorry CGswans, I wasn't meaning to suggest that georgia aquarium wasn't already big enough and was not meaning to undermine anyone on the forum
