Since Linhai Zoo currently didn\'t have many animals, and none were sick, her job as a veterinarian had been quite leisurely recently. Besides giving the two newly arrived red pandas a physical examination, she mainly took care of Ice Cake, and she seemed to be enjoying herself.

"Director, you\'re here!"

Lin Ying rolled up from the ground in one swift move.

While washing his hands, Fang Ye asked, "Hmm, I\'ve come to see Ice Cake. How is its appetite today, and how\'s its health?"

"Ice Cake might have eaten well, today it ate even more than yesterday. Super healthy and lively!"

Fang Ye chatted casually with Lin Ying and then picked up Ice Cake.

Ice Cake could now see things within 20cm. Fang Ye brought his face close, and Ice Cake blinked its eyes for a while as if recognizing him, then let out a milky "ah" and waved its little paws, trying to touch Fang Ye.

"Hmm, good~"

Pat pat on the head!

He pampered Ice Cake quite affectionately.

Back in the office, he rubbed his hands together, looking forward with anticipation, "White Tigers are symbols of dispelling evil and subduing demons, so opening the pack this time shouldn\'t be unlucky, right?"

Zoo Development Gift Pack, open!

A bunch of green coins popped out, 4396 green leaf coins!

"Nice! Who says metaphysics is useless!"

Fang Ye felt a rush of excitement in his heart and quickly continued opening packs while his luck lasted.

In the last gift pack, what popped out wasn\'t green leaf coins but an animal card with an animal pattern on it!

"Could it be..."

A look of surprise flashed in Fang Ye\'s eyes. The description of the Zoo Development Gift Pack mentioned a high probability of green leaf coins and a very small probability of an animal. He had only hoped to draw more green leaf coins to be satisfied.

But by the looks of it, could he have hit that tiny probability?

"Congratulations to the host, you\'ve obtained red-and-green macaws*4!"

"Wow, macaws!" Fang Ye exclaimed in surprise.

Macaws generally live in tropical rainforests and are the largest of all parrot species, with the largest kinds growing over one meter long. They are also very long-lived, with wild macaws usually living for 30-40 years, and those in captivity may live even longer; well-cared-for birds might reach 60 to 80 years old, even outliving their keepers.

The red-and-green macaw is one of the most beautiful in appearance among the macaw species.

It is easily confused with the scarlet macaw, also known as the rainbow macaw. The main difference is that the red-and-green macaw has green at the junction of the red and blue on its wings, while the scarlet has yellow.

Tony, the parrot in GTA: San Andreas that spews expletives, is a scarlet macaw.

Parrots are cute in appearance and can mimic human speech, so they are a favorite pet for many people.

However, according to current laws in our country, only three species are allowed to be kept without a license: budgerigars, rosy-faced lovebirds, and cockatiels. Keeping other common parrots like the African Grey, sun parakeet, or cockatoo is actually illegal.

Why these species? Our country has joined the Washington Convention (CITES), and non-native animals are protected according to the convention list. Native animals are managed according to the "National Key Protected Wild Animal List."

All native parrots start as second-class protected animals, belonging to species that would end up in jail, so to speak, while the three allowed species are not native and not listed in the convention, which is why their ownership is permitted.

Fang Ye felt the joyous trouble of happiness, "It\'s time to design a new exhibit!"

Where should the location of the parrot exhibit be?

His mind took flight, and many inspirations slowly emerged.

The few kinds of animals originally in the zoo didn\'t seem quite right for the first exhibit, so he had put the idea aside for the time being.

```

Now that I think about it, a parrot exhibit seems like a great idea!

Parrots, peafowl, red pandas, and red foxes are all adorable and beautiful animals.

With that in mind, the theme for the area near the entrance is set.

Forest elf!

The themes for the exhibition areas can be very diverse, such as a region-based African animal area, a class- and order-based amphibian and reptile area, and a behavior-based nocturnal animal area.

But regardless of the theme, they all convey a common message of species diversity and ecological variety.

Once the theme is determined, then comes the display design, which creates a sense of setting. Compared to fragmented displays, the portrayal of animals is more convincing, and visitors are more easily immersed in it, experiencing awe and admiration for nature.

Fang Ye\'s eyes shone brightly, his thoughts becoming clearer, "Well, that first area will primarily feature small mammals and birds. If we can also get deer, antelopes, and such, they can be placed here, and the macaque exhibit can be moved over here when it\'s rebuilt."

However, the macaque exhibit should be placed a bit towards the back, otherwise, it won\'t be convenient for future expansion.

The variety of primate species is quite rich, and they all have interesting characteristics, such as gibbons, chimpanzees, orangutans, mandrills, golden hair monkeys, ring-tailed lemurs, spider monkeys...

So by reserving an area, we can also create a theme like Primate Paradise.

Hmm... then let\'s build the macaque exhibit at the edge. Later, when constructing Primate Paradise, we can simply push the walls out and extend them.

Returning to the subject of parrots, Fang Ye suddenly felt that just building a parrot pavilion seemed a bit dull!

Why not make a walk-in Hundred Birds Garden?

A very large area dedicated to mixed avian housing!

This isn\'t a sudden whim; there are several reasons for this consideration!

First of all, like with red pandas, the most important thing to consider is that they are tree-dwelling animals; we need to plant trees in the exhibit and set up perches for them to climb.

What do birds need the most? Of course, it\'s the ability to fly!

The limited space of small exhibits restricts flight.

We can\'t possibly say that in an exhibit of tens of square meters, we would build the walls tens of meters high, as that would turn into a chimney, right?

But if it\'s converted into a very large Hundred Birds Garden, we can install several tall poles in the middle of the exhibit, shorter ones around the edges, and spread a net over the top, slanting it naturally downwards towards the edges.

In this way, with very economical materials, we can create a large space that allows birds to enjoy flying to a certain extent.

The second reason is that birds don\'t have much attacking power!

Of course, this naturally excludes raptors like eagles; if we put raptors in the Hundred Birds Garden, that would be like serving up the other birds on a platter, wouldn\'t it?

The purpose of zoo enclosures is twofold: to protect the animals and to protect the visitors.

Since birds lack the power to attack, removing barriers eliminates concerns about visitor injury and reduces worries about the birds fighting.

In fact, they are less likely to fight in a larger space.

To protect the birds from harm by visitors, we can use a combination of warning signs, camera surveillance, and keeper patrols to solve the problem.

The third reason is that the visitor experience would be greatly enhanced!

If the exhibits are separated, each one has limited space and can generally only house a few trees.

After a while, the similar environments can lead to aesthetic fatigue.

But if they\'re combined into one Hundred Birds Garden, we can create larger landscapes, such as ponds.

Chinese Hwamei singing on branches, peafowl and kingfishers drinking at the water\'s edge, sunbirds hovering by flowers to gather nectar, and then a crow flies overhead with a "caw-caw", scattering the multitude of birds...

Isn\'t such a scene much more spectacular than a single exhibit?

Of course, we\'ll still need to carefully consider which birds to actually include.
