   I can see a cuckaburoo, a peacock and some kind of ibis I would guess (the ones the colour of flamingoes), but the grey ones at the bottom have me stumped and fascinated.

   Wow, Jodie--you've got a good eye! The Kookaburra is actually a West African Long-Tailed Hornbill; that is a Scarlet Ibis, and the fourth one down is a Superb Starling; I think the peacock was a female (peahen?). Can't find any online info on the last bird, other than "exotic bird at Central Park," which will have to do! I could have spent all day in that aviary...next time I'm there, I'll take notes!
