Another trip through the World of Birds, and another collection of clips featuring some very wonderful and awe-inspiring bird species!
I've been extremely fascinated with the birds-of-paradise lately, and feel very privileged that my home zoo - the Bronx - is currently the only place you can see the magnificent maleo outside its native Sulawesi. (I hear that several zoos now have them in their collections.)
I simply cannot stay away from this exhibit. Even when I tell myself I'm only here to see a few specific species, I can't help but get caught up in the beauty of the avian world, and wind up spending well over half an hour in this colorful menagerie of beaks, bills, feathers and plumage. It's by far among the best the Bronx Zoo has to offer, and I highly recommend seeing it whenever you visit.
