Caged birds

Yesterday Amanda and I went to Hong Kong Park again. There were some good birds around, saw our first Common Tailorbirds and Blue (or Violet) Whistling Thrush, but we also checked out the large aviary they have there. It was pretty cool as far as contained birds go. It's quite large with lots of nice vegetation and a great variety of birds, so we took a lot of pics of birds we didn't really know.

The Bali Myna were particularly loud and friendly

We then headed to the extreme opposite of the caged bird experience, at the bird garden!
