I'm not sure what you mean, but here is an example. ''Wurfbox'' meaning whelping box and the ''Pfleger-'' areas are for keepers. Would that be of any assistance? :)

With the image Kevin posted, you can see that the areas for sick and injured animals are attached to the back of the building. Basically, if you want a viewing area, you just need one block of building that has a place for viewing, then a smaller block that is offset from the main building so guests can't see it from their viewing platform.

At my local zoo, it works like this. The lion enclosure has an indoor viewing place, with brick back wall. It is in two sections, and one has a place where keepers can get in to put food. This door functions as a gate which lions can use to get into a safety corridor, and on the other side of the safety corridor is the private bed area, and two other indoor sections for quarantine. The guests can't see into here because of the brick wall.

From what it sounds, all you need is to find a way to make a separate, smaller indoor where guests can't see the animals, which isn't that difficult to work out. You just go by angle or by blocking.

here is a picture of a lion indoor enclosure and the lions have two sections
the left side is for the group and the richt side is for the female's and there are the cubbing dens
the problem is the zookeepers need to go in the visitor part to get there so what to do

Adding a small pathway and a door towards the ''lab'' (?) or kitchen from outside would probably work, in my opinion. On the left side you could also add an extra door from outside.

Looks good so far. I agree though, adding a couple of doors here and there in walls would solve that issue. . As long as guests can't get through it (doors will be locked usually anyway) there's no problem, zoo staff usually have to walk through guest areas to get to some places.

I don't think I like this elk enclosure :< I wanted to go for a more open clearing look, and I wanted to do so without ground foliage, maybe? (Or at least not the grass on the ground I had done previously)

But I feel like it would clash with previous enclosures?

I would add some more green grass to it, smoothen out the terrain a little, and add a large rock in the middle. If you did that it would look distinct.

With separate exhibits for:
Black-and-rufous sengi
Ring-tailed vontsira

Monserrat Oriole.
Blue-crowned Laughingtrush (temperate to subtropical, but often exhibited in tropical setting).
Nicobar Pigeon (too big?).
Green Jay.
Silktail, Lawes's Parotia and Ribbon-tailed Astrapia (not very realistic in most zoos, but still).
Green-heade Tanager.
Fiji Parrotfinch.

I was actually asking for species we had in game, I don't feel like making even more birds for a while now, but thank you.
