Found opposite to the entrance of the Viceregal Lodge, this small aviary boasts a few geeese, and lot of chickens, which seem to often squabble with a few colourful pheasants. One of these pheasants is the camera-shy Monal Pheasant (photo below), the official state bird of Himachal Pradesh. It´s plumage is even more beautiful than the mythical Norwegian Blue.
There is also a display of some rather warped examples of taxidermy. Moth-worn exhibits include ibex, assorted dear, a brown bear, leopard and snow leopard.
Admission costs Rp20 with an additional Rp10 camera charge. It is open Tuesday to Sunday between 10am - 5pm. It is closed on Mondays.
