The Audubon Nature Institute (http://www.auduboninstitute.org/) runs the Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas, and the Audubon Insectarium here in New Orleans. Each of them is one of the better ones in the United States. The Institute is very active in preserving endangered species through breeding programs; we have quite a few rare and endangered species at our zoo because of that.
Odd Ibis? Do you mean the Whooping Crane (http://www.republicofnewhome.org/images/home/zoo/img_1747.jpg)? That's an very endangered American species of migratory wading bird.
The different doves are from the Phillipies or south-east Asia.
Those above are North American River Otters. The zoo also has Asian Otters, which I posted photos of last year in this entry (http://dragoness-e.livejournal.com/64656.html#cutid1).
