Birds in our Aviary

In our Aviary we have a lot of different birds. They came from other Aviaries for the viewing pleasures of guests. There's Pearl spotted owls that is one of Southern Africa's smallest owl species. They are active by daylight.
The people that brought them in found them on the ground and thought they were hurt, but this is normal behavior for these owls to walk on the ground because they eat small insects etc.
They are in a big enclosure where they can fly around and they can still search for their own food in aviary, even though we give them food.
These owls feed on a variety of prey on arthropods, insects, bats and small rodents and they are an endangered animals specie.  

The variety of birds in the Aviary are:
•Bearded Barbet’s
•Violet Turaco
•Hartlaub’s turaco
•Blue Bellied Roler
•Splendid Glossy Starling’s
•White Bellied Go-away bird
