The kookaburra has a lot of personality. I go in the aviary just for him.

There is a lorikeet thread. Lodge your complaint there.

I love the Guria Cuckoo in there. I guess this conversation has to move because of the oppressive leadership though.

While admittedly I am not a fan of the shows, to me one of the most important reasons to visit any Busch or Sea World park is the integration of animals and rides. When people talk about the things they love about BGW, it focus generally isn't on their thrill rides. I'm not saying their coasters are bad at all. I love the collection at BGW, especially AC and Nessie. I do think they need to work on their assortment of good flats, but that is another discussion altogether. That said, most discussions about BGW and BGT seem to focus on the theming, the "shrubbery," and the animals. People enjoy the feeling of being in pretty gardens with interesting animal exhibits, as much as they enjoy the thrill rides.
Even within that context, there are other parks that also do a great job of landscaping and theming. What SWP&E brings to the table, in my opinion, is the combination of great coasters and even better animal exhibits. If there were no interesting zoo tours and attractions, I would probably spend more time and money at parks with better rides (CF) and theming (USO/IoA).
They should not be boxed in. Have you seen how that goat treats them? They need to be free to express their greater sheepdom.
