This habitat includes three different areas along a walkway with plenty of viewing windows to each species. Each aviary includes perching branches, pools and plants for hiding. Some viewing windows may be obscured with decorative vinyl in order to protect the species that are sensitive to visitors.
This area connects to our Dragons of Komodo habitat and leads to our Call of the Wild habitat which is home to our grey wolves.
Andean condors are the largest flying bird in the world and have an impressive wingspan of up to 3.3 metres. Genders can be determined by their eyes! The female has red eyes whilst the male has brown.
