This is just a small zoo, these two aviaries are the only ones in this row. The brick building behind backs on to a terrace which overlooks a bear enclosure and the aviaries face a sea lion pool. There are a couple of other aviaries but they have wetland birds.

markum, I really like how this looks. The brick in the background looks like a zoo building with outdoor enclosures attached, just like a real zoo. You could have indoor / outdoor exhibits for your animals.
Or you could even you just use the "building" as a hallway for your keepers to access the outdoor exhibits. Put a few benches inside, and the keepers can come into the building to sit down and rest, and then back outside to service the exhibits.
markum, you keep giving more and more ideas to try. You are a master designer.

Thank you! That's actually the case with these aviaries, there is an indoor area for the birds with a corridor for keeper access but no public access. Other buildings in the zoo have outdoor/indoor viewing
Here is the sea lion pool:
and an old picture of a walrus who used to live here:

I based it on the sea lion pool at central park zoo there are two glass walls because the water goes right up to the top of the tank. The mosaic wall is a download from here, I really like it as well as water exhibits I think it would be nice in a Brazilian zoo.

Thanks firecat. By the way, I like your idea that I saw in another thread about making a zoo and sticking with it, renovating it when new things come out. I tried to do this with my latest zoo but I always get bored and start a new one. Hopefully my new zoo will be something I stick with and I'll put some pictures up as I finish the different parts.

When I finished the zoo there were only a pair of yellow mongoose in the small mammals area with two other exhibits available. The wetlands aviary had African spoonbill, crowned crane and saddlebill stork
