Rákosův pavilon

Rákosův pavilon, Bird exhibition pavilion at Prague Zoo, Czech Republic

Rákosův pavilon is a bird exhibition pavilion at Prague Zoo featuring eight distinct exhibit spaces with specialized environments. These landscapes range from Brazil's Caatinga to New Guinea's mountainous rainforests for housing exotic birds.

The foundation stone was laid on 30 November 2014, and the pavilion opened to the public on 28 September 2019. It was built on the site of the Lineárka, one of the zoo's oldest parrot exhibits, and two of the original small aviaries were kept and repaired. Construction cost 30.5 million CZK excluding VAT, with 10 million from Stanislav Rákos and 7 million from EU grants.

The pavilion bears the name of Stanislav Rákos (1931–2012), a noted parrot breeder who gave 10 million CZK toward its construction. The German name Rákos-Pavilon is a direct rendering of this dedication. Of the 30.5 million CZK total cost, 7 million CZK came from European Union grants.

The complex is entered behind the red panda exhibit, starting with the New Zealand aviary; the pavilion itself holds six exhibits, one of them walk-through (Lowland New Guinea forest). A second walk-through aviary, Southern Andes foothills, stands at the exit, followed by two repaired historic aviaries before the large birds-of-prey aviary.

At opening, 19 of the 38 bird taxa kept here were held in no other Czech zoo, and four of them — the golden-eared lorikeet, the Indonesian leafbird, the grey-bellied pigeon and the black-bronze pigeon — were absent from every other European zoo. The pavilion was built on the site of the Lineárka, one of the zoo's oldest exhibits.
