GESO: Aviary in Colombia

Our recent trip to Cartagena included a half-day guided visit to the Colombian National Aviary. I have never been a big fan of taking pictures in zoos (or aviaries), it seems too easy and somewhat exploitive at the same time. But in situations like this, where the birds are comfortable and well treated, it does provide a chance to get views of these lovely creatures that might take a life-time to see in the wild.

So, for your viewing pleasure, some birds along with a few flowers and iguanas for variety…

Cool, there are some pretty birds, and some really weird looking ones.

Excellent gallery, Stan. you managed to "de-zooify" the images very well.
The Black Crowned Crane is a handsome chappie as is the pink spoonbill.
