My 4th visit to Japan and my 3rd to Tokyo. Oeno Zoo is a favourite. Besides Tokyo I’ve been to zoos in Dublin, London, Toronto, Bangkok, San Jose CR, San Diego, Edmonton (Al Oeming) and my first … Moose Jaw Wild Animal Park. I was dejected this trip as 50% was either closed, avian flu or being renovated. Just before leaving two birds just appeared to make the visit worthwhile.
