So many great birds Little! I love the Crowned Crane, Green Turaco and all the others.

Thanks for posting all the pics. This looks like a wonderful place.

I'd never even get to see pictures of these fantastic birds without you LT! Thanks so much.

Wonderful thread, Rian. What an amazing place that domed aviary must be.

Thanks, glad you like it...its a massive place with the little river, going through it as well. We stopped open-mouthed as 2 macaws came flying over the tree tops and dove down the hill under the tree right next to us - so otherworldly, amazing.

Rian, have you ever seen the Shoebill Stork? AKA Whale-headed Stork.

No Margaret, but just a little prettier than marabou I think....

That's some beak, eh?

maybe red lory?

Rainbow lorikeet

Finally we call this the "undertaker", but its a Marabou

Wow, Rian, did you count how many birds you saw whilst you were there? Amazing variety.

No, but they have over 180 species there...

Fantastic colorful birds Rian. Looks like a very great place to visit.
