Bird Photography at the Zoo in Praha - Prague

When I visited Prague in June this year I also visited the Zoo and the botanical garden there. At the bontanical garden I saw a lot of interesting trees and plants and the Zoo has a very big Area for different animal from all over the world. Of course birds are probably the animals that I find most attracitve soo i took several pictures of different birds that I found there. Usually I like wildlife photography a lot more but some times it is also interesting getting some exoctic birds in front of my lens that are usually not to be found in europe and also a lot closer.

Then on the other hand I know that Zoos often play an important role in rebreeding birds and ohter animals that sometimes can be released depending on their skill to be able to live in the wild. Not all of them are capable after beeing in captivation for a longer time.
