===Blackburn Pavilion=== The Blackburn Pavilion is a rainforest-themed tropical bird aviary that opened in March 2008 as a refurbishment of the zoo's outdated birdhouse.<ref name="blackburn-pavilion">{{cite web | url = http://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/exhibits/blackburn-pavilion/blackburn-pavilion,850,AR.html | title = Blackburn Pavilion | publisher = [[Zoological Society of London|ZSL]] | access-date =3 March 2008}}</ref> It rejuvenated the birdhouse by adding a walk-through element. The building was originally constructed in 1883 as a reptile house. The pavilion houses roughly 50 different species of exotic rainforest birds, including [[blue-crowned laughingthrush]]es, [[collared trogon]]s, [[Socorro dove]]s, [[red-crested turaco]]s, [[splendid sunbird]]s and [[red-and-yellow barbet]]s. Outside the entrance is one of the pavilion's prominent features, a large elaborate clock by [[Tim Hunkin]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timhunkin.com/a136_zoo-clock.htm|title=London Zoo Clock 2008|work=Tim Hunkin}}</ref> It gives a bird-themed display every thirty minutes throughout the day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zsl.org/zsl-london-zoo/exhibits/blackburn-pavilion/blackburn-pavilion,850,AR.html|title=Blackburn Pavilion|work=Zoological Society of London (ZSL)}}</ref>
