Usually, I set up a series of little planters and stones around the center of the table on the deck and create there an "aviary" for MLGZoo. Of course, some species of birds end up elsewhere along the way. This year I have habitats out and about for Common Ostriches, Greater Flamingos in the "African Adventure" area, Gentoo Penguins in "Icons of the Americas," and Southern Cassowary in "Australia, Land of Wonders." Additionally, I have a mini aviary of birds from South America in the "Icons of the Americas" hosting 3 species of Macaw (Scarlet, Hyacinth, and Blue & Yellow), and 2 species of Toucan (Keel-billed, and Toco). The table aviary is a mix and with the 9 aforementioned species beings the total avian offerings at the MLGZoo in 2023 to 22 with it's 13 unique bird species.
