  11. These are cute little birds - like a Sparrow that's playing dress-up as a Penguin!

    Where they flying free around the Zoo grounds or in an aviary? Though they are cute, we have enough exotics flying about!

  12. Christian, the wetlands exhibit you had to walk through double-gate to enter both ends. You were totally unaware that it was an aviary as such.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
