Australasian Aviaries: Rain Forest Jewels March 15, 2010

Our Australasian aviaries present some of the diverse jewels of the San Diego Zoo's bird collection, one of the premier collections of birds found anywhere in the world. These aviaries are currently home to over 100 birds native to Australasia. There are 36 exhibits within five modules of aviaries designed to house multiple species of birds, including endangered Micronesian kingfishers, hornbill species, lories, and the ever-fascinating Raggiana birds of paradise.
