Pls don't use flash in the World of Darkness (owl) exhibit. Although i think the birds would have gotten used to the flash by now, it nonetheless disturbs the birds.

there is a sign in the exhibit that clearly states NOT to use flash.

i'm sorry to be harsh but if you can't take their picture without flash then too bad. Sometimes it's more meaningful to just look with the eyes and not intrude. think about it.

Bring in your equipment is one thing, using them is another.

Yes, I used direct flash on the birds. I was standing quite far and I am using my 70mm - 300mm most of the time when taking close ups on the birds. So I used direct flash.

Is there a way to improve the flash? Do you think that by lowering the EV on the flash will help?
Please advise.

use high ISO, monopod, tripod, faster lens, IS/VR lens ......... and slower speed.......
Any way, those birds most of time have not much movement than wild birds, so you can take your time to shoot.

BTW, you have some good shorts, keep it up ...

These are nocturnal creatures, the eyesight are adapted to lowlights, if you using flash, will be just let I fire a full power flash only one feet away from your face.
