Beautiful creature , but I prefer to see them in wild , where they belong to ...

[MorganFawnvern]

@soheiljerusalem some people can't afford trips to africa to see them in the wild...

[soheiljerusalem]

@MorganFawnvern And animals are the ones that must pay for that , right?

Just cos some people can't travel to Africa to see them in their own place it does not justify keeping them in zoos. Those people can watch them in T.V in wild. It's just so unethical and mean to capture these animals and keep them in a place they really don't belong to.

@soheiljerusalem most zoos, such as the Cincinnati zoo are gigantic, with habitats so large that the birds don't even know they are "trapped" and most animals in zoos are captive bred now.

It would be more unethical to release captive bred animals into the wild. I'm really tired of people slandering zoos because as I said, most have more than adequate amount of space, they are designed specifically FOR that animal and they are safe from danger, well cared for, well fed, and happy.

@MorganFawnvern I agree that few zoos are good places for animals , but not "most" zoos. What do you mean by "most" zoos? Most zoos in States , or in the entire world . "Most" zoos in Asia , middle east , Russia , Africa and even some part of Europe are nothing but HELL for animals.

[MorganFawnvern]

@soheiljerusalem ok.. Most zoos in the United States where this bird is located... As a matter of fact i'd say 99.99% of zoos in the US have adequate facilities, otherwise peta would be all over their ass.

These birds are so beautiful, and friendly, too!

The one in the Philadelphia Zoo's new McNeil Avian Center comes up close to visitors and never seems intimidated by crowds.
