Thanks so much!  This has been extremely helpful. :)

I've been playing this too and it's not one of the best designed scenarios (to put it mildly).  You might also take the ball completely out of the exhibit and let the bird's stimulation meter go bad then replace the ball.  I still need to finish this one--just haven't got back to it because I hate following around animals and trying to ...

Hmmm.  It sounds like you may have the fence view turned off.  On the left-hand side of the screen there's a narrow menu that pops up.  You can change views on that menu for turning off buildings and foliage.  Does it also have one for turning off fences?You can also build fenceless exhibits by putting your animals in ...

I've been playing ZT since the original game (and loving it) and while ZT2 definitely improved on its predecessor in some areas I find it falls short in others so I might as well add my recommendations to the list.  Of course it's quite possible others have suggested this stuff too and if so that makes it all the better!#1.  The walking ...

Indeed!  I would love to have more animals from North America!  From the looks of what's available in this game we have very few real animals in this country.  It is truly a sad representation. You can leave out the rattlesnakes, though.  I have too many of those in my backyard as it is. *shudders*
