Greeting. eBird advises, at http://help.ebird.org/customer/en/portal/articles/973921-what-data-are-appropriate-?b_id=1928&t=412380 :
'Do not report captive birds. You may report wild birds you see at outdoor zoos, but do not include caged birds, pinioned waterfowl, or birds that are part of the collection. As a general rule, birds at zoos that are not known to be wild should not be reported.'
Thanks - David
