There is one in the lion enclosure every time I have visited the zoo.

The Little Pied Cormorants must be on good terms with Jake and Mischka the white Lions.
Also the Wood Ducks. Have also seen a flock of Red-browed finches playing not far away from Mischka. I guess they know they can fly off fast enough, not to mention they not big enough even for a snack :)
