Thank you flyingmonkeypoop and Lophura. Those birds are gorgeous. Very interesting to watch.

I was interested when a recording next to the Saddle-billed Stork exhibit stated that they were the first zoo to ever have the birds breed in captivity.

Link to their page on them:

So that's neat that one of your birds might be there. I only saw the pair on display, but they were very pretty.

Awesome pics! Gotta love those snakes! That unidentified one reminds me of a Woma Python, but I cant see the head. They are my favorite species of snake! I love all of the pics, they are great.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Guess I'll have to cross 360 and go to the Dallas zoo instead of the Ft Worth zoo sometime soon.
