Mono Capuchino?Although we had a great day, certain aspects of the place leave you a little sad. Many of the enclosures - cages - are not adequate for their inhabitants. I don't know the cause of what you see in the following photo, but whether a result of living in captivity or not, it's not nice to see...
Black-mandibled ToucanHowever, what a zoo always offers someone like me, is the opportunity to practice some photography!
"You talkin' to me?"
Red-capped Cardinal
Military Macaw
The highlight of the place has to be "Bosque de las aves" (Forest of the birds), a huge enclosed area to view 20 or more species (according to park signs, which were not clear in saying which were which though...). It has a tower in the middle to view from, and a small waterfall to walk behind.
Some pics from inside here:
Majestic...erm...beauty
King Vulture
I think this is a Spix's Guan,
looks like Crested Guan too though
Surprised to see this here!
Black Swan
I can't find what the next one is, annoying as it looks so familiar. Also, lower mandible is larger than upper??
Give me a name please!

The two shots above were taken through cages.

WOW Tommy! Those are fabulous pictures! You have mad skilz with a camera. My favorite is the King Vulture (I love vultures). He's just magnificent.
LOL, I knew Lynne would love the King Vulture, told you to dedicate it to her!! lol
It was a good day, bit sad to see so many beautiful animals in cages, but good for learning about them a bit. My absolute favourite was "El Bosque de Aves".
Awesome pics babe!
Mel
Great photos of the neat birds you saw!
Sorry, but I don't know what the last one is either.
Lynne - thankyou as always :) That vulture was HUGE!
Mel - maybe I should have! hehe
Ruthie - thanks! I couldn't find the bird in 'Birds of Peru' so I think it's from a little further afield, like the Black Swan...
