Yes, the Philadelphia Zoo is definitely great!

The piping guan is also known as an aburria. It and the curassow are two of my special favorites in the McNeil Avian Center.

Thank you!

There actually is only one curassow in the McNeil Avian Center. And that is probably good because she acts like she is in charge.

One of the keepers calls her "Gertrude" which I think is the absolute best name for her, although I'm not sure why I think that.
