The bird enclosure is 100 years old and has been completely hollowed out and renovated. In the past, there were also free-flying birds, but everything was darker. Now it is very bright and it is also rained from above from time to time. Only the planting still has to grow. The light glass plates mentioned are not intended for lighting. Since everything is new and different species of birds live together, these glass plates serve as a subdivision of the space to form territories. After everything has settled in, they are removed again.

Interesting additional info. I knew/read it was an old building but that it was newly renovated/opened. Maybe should have brought tjat out better in the video. I will pin this comment for interested viewers.

You must go back one day for a Part 2 of this Zoo. Give yourself more time and hopefully better weather. Thanks.

I sure will. Hope to visit Swiss at end of the year again (to make use of that vignet haha) and then sure will try to fit it in.

The Zoo Basel just celebrated 150 years! And someone already mentioned that the bird house is a 100 years plus! So I don't think it "will look better with time"!😅

It was recently renovated and planted. So I meant the decor and plants as they grow. Not the building itself :)

Love to see the zoo of so many of my childhood memories on here. I won‘t give it all of the credit, but this zoo definitely contributed to me going into biology. Thank you for the tour!

seeing those penguin in that box white room is so sad

This is only a small part of the penguin cage. The water basin is about 5 meters deep and at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius, the penguins walk through the zoo accompanied by keepers.

Wow! This zoo looks fantastic! Looks really well done, and clean. I am in Florida, USA, and so it is always interesting to see how colder climates deal with primates as they are kept fully outside year-round here. Thanks for the video!

It certainly was. Great example in my opinion.

Jouw kanaal verdient meer subscribers, de kwaliteit van je filmpjes is altijd hoog. Kleine vraag, ga je ooit nog een vuursalamander item maken??

Dank! Werken we hard aan :) Moet eerlijk zijn dat het niet direct op de planning staat. Maar als ik ergens terecht kom waar ze het super aanpakken dan grijpen we de kans natuurlijk :) Bedankt!
