    A new aviary for butterflies and hummingbirds is going to open in 2021 (spring/summer).
    It's going to host many species of birds and invertebrates; most importantly, the park will have a bird species which today only exists in captivty after its extinction in nature.

    Spix macaw would be very nice but don't think you mend this species.
    Soccora dove would be very well possible ;).

    I also thought about Socorro doves, but it seems the mysterious bird is another species.
    We have to wait...
