Dublin Zoo has moved the majority of birds indoors due to concerns over bird flu.
It follows advice from the Department of Agriculture in order to protect the animals.
Ostriches, penguins, and flamingos and others will be "off view" until further notice, and can't be seen by visitors.
In a statement, the zoo said: "The species that cannot be seen by visitors include the Humboldt penguin, Chilean flamingo, waldrapp ibis, ostrich, little egret, peafowl, citron-crested cockatoo and Indian runner duck.
"The Abyssinian ground hornbill can still be seen in their habitats."
It follows similar action from Fota Wildlife Park in Cork, who put similar safeguards in place to protect their bird species.
The Department of Agriculture says avian influenza or bird flu is a "contagious and often fatal viral disease of birds".
It says there's a "constant risk" of the disease being introduced to Ireland during the winter months.
Officials here say bird flu has been confirmed in wild birds in several counties this winter and is also spreading across a number of other EU countries.
