    Did you see all species?

    Did you went to Birdworld and Butterfly Sanctuary as well?

    Yep, saw all of them.

    Didn't go to Birdworld (no species I need to see according to their hand-out) or Butterfly Sanctuary (too expensive). I went to the Australian Venom Zoo though, which was a waste of money.

    The two species of frogmouth are cool, they weren't there when I visited a couple of years ago. Where in the zoo are they held?

    They are both held together in an enclosure in the Nocturnal House.

    I'll try to post some pictures later.

    Good I didn't went. I had been thinking about visiting the Venom Zoo, but totally forgot it when I was in Kuranda. Any special species?

    [Moderator EDIT: species list for the Venom Zoo which was provided in the next post has been split to a separate thread: Australian Venom Zoo - Australian Venom Zoo species list]

    Just to also put it here:
    The Marbled Frogmouth might not actually be a Marbled.
