Super-interested - but no trans-Atlantic travel for me right now. There are things on the card for 2022 though...

Seriously, you need to get over here and do a review. The African acacia forest aviary is now about 4 years old, and the white-fronted bee-eaters are breeding well, and they've managed to reproduce pintailed whydahs using their natural host estrildids. The new hummingbird habitat (really a neotropical aviary that includes hummingbirds) is way cool. They're breeding kagus, and the Guianan cock-of-the-rock have a visible lek. I could go on at length. Oh, yes, they have some mammals and herps too.

Darren, I don't know where else to put this and I've lost your email address, apparently. I'm just back from the San Diego Zoo, and they've added a lot since I was last there mumble years ago. There used to be two giant, walk-in, free flight aviaries and now there are three, plus two more somewhat smaller ones. And lots of non-free-flight aviaries all over. Truly, it's the most impressive collection of birds I've seen anywhere, by far. And I didn't even get to the Wild Animal Park; just talking about the main zoo site. Had a talk with the curator, and there's more to come.
