A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Chapultepec Zoo Visit--Aviary Complex
The bird area was very unique, given the many differing styles of aviary's. These half dozen "igloo" looking aviaries were strange. Heavy diamond bar's with mesh behind them. Looked like they could withstand the weight of the heaviest snowfall. Not that that would ever be necessary. The architectural design was very difficult for me to understand. Inside each one, a total waste of space as there was a mesh cage along one side, and a small mesh cage on the opposite side of the pedestrian path. Just really odd designed aviaries.
