MARWELL Zoo has unveiled a new
attraction that promises to allow visitors to get closer than ever to the
action.
The new walkthrough aviary opened
on March 27, giving guests a chance to see exotic and endangered birds such as
Waldropp Ibis, Crowned Plovers, Little Egrets, Madagascar Teal, Violet Turaco
and Von Der Decken’s Hornbill.

Marwell hopes the new feature will
serve as an education resource for young children whilst acting as
an “immersive entrance to Encounter
Village ”.
Ross Brown, a manager at the zoo,
said: “Our new walkthrough aviary provides an excellent habitat for a wide
range of birds, some of which are classified as endangered and are difficult to
see in the wild. It’s a great way to engage, inspire and educate the next
generation about the world of flight.
