I also went to the zoo on a cold day last week, and was happy to see that the rats who live in the aviary were especially active. It was like they were putting on a show for me! Several of them came out and scampered through the snow to drink from the stream. The zoo was so quiet due to the weather. I went back on Saturday when it was warm, and it was not nearly as enjoyable. So many people around. The rats must have found it to be disruptive, as they were not nearly as active on that day.
Ryan, I was going to tell you, I saw a rat in the aviary!! He came out to greet me. A huge rat with a long tail. He emerged from the area you had told me about and went to the feeder. I almost got a picture but then he got shy. Too bad because I was dying to take a picture so I could send it to you!

Mary, I am so glad that you were able to enjoy a rat sighting! The aviary is my first stop after entering the zoo.
