Description
While you can obviously expect to see captive birds here, Wilhelma is also home to a few wild birds species. siva čaplja and veliki kormoran nest in the treetops near the front of the zoo, while nilska gos and the previously mentioned species enjoy hanging around in the penguin and pelican exhibits. zelenonoga tukalica can be found frequently, especially near the front of the zoo, where they like the flamingo exhibit. grivar and skalni golob are found alongside songbirds such as tašcica, velika sinica, domaci vrabec, and kos.
Bird photographers may enjoy the entry area of Wilhelma, because herons, cormorants, geese, moorhens, and more all get quite close. You could try and go around the time when the penguins and pelicans are being fed to get close to herons and cormorants, although they'll likely be close anyways.

Access
Located in Stuttgart, Wilhelma Zoo has a dedicated parking garage. It is best traversed on foot, and you should allow for 3 - 4 hours to fully experience the zoo. However, most of the interesting birdlife, including the nesting siva čaplja and veliki kormoran (in spring) are located near the front of the zoo, where you can reach them in a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
