LONDON ZOO - Part 3 (Birds)

Now it's the birds turn so have grouped everything from Penguins and Pelicans to Red Bishops  !!!       I cannot ID all but will do my best with others ......... feel free to correct mistakes as it is the only way I can learn !    

Some of these photos are not great as indoor birds were in heated and humid environs and often behind wire enclosures so hard to get good images.,  however, here goes ............

Pekin Robin

Mindanao  (Bleeding Heart Dove)

Hooded Pita is next  .....

Toucan

Now I need help with the next ones ..................

West Nile Red Bishop ?  ..........

female West Nile Red Bishop  ?

back with more birds once I get these posted !

A few Owls now but again, I can only ID a couple so feel free to offer up names for them :)

..........sorry these pics won't be great as most were way back in their caged pens and hard to get a decent pic ......

Tawny Owl first ...

 Frogmouth ........must terrible pic being right at the back of his pen

now an Eagle Eared Owl - possibly ?

and another gorgeous Owl .......but I can't give you an ID

another couple in need of ID

now the flamboyant Pelicans   lol

pure exhibitionists   !!!!!

and I thought this next looked more like a stuffed toy with his fur fabric material   !!!

I'm sorry there are so many photos,  perhaps I should have put birds into two groups, however, bear with me  LOL

Penguins,  I think these are the Humboldt species

believe me.........there is a penguin here somewhere .........perhaps doing morning aerobics ?

It's been a hard day at the zoo so it turned into Snooze time for this little penguin  :)

Sorry !    I found some birds I had missed out ...............  here they are to save another thread ...

Bald Ibis   (many thanks for the ID TJ) 

This fellow was about to enjoy a rodent dinner :(    possibly another type of Ibis ?

thanks again, got TJ working overtime !     Sacred Ibis it is !

Ewwwww :(

there were a lot of birds to feed so hope they had plenty of rat traps   lol

  • It's possible the other one about to eat a rodent is also an Ibis, possibly a Sacred Ibis. Does that make sense?

  • Cheers Terry,  that pelican really looked like a stuffed toy as it remained completely still for half a minute and the neck did look more like fur fabric lol

    @ TJ,   sounds good to me - thanks for the ID's
