I changed waters in the basement as well as pulling night plates. The birds have the same behavior as I have ever noticed. Some of the tinamou decide to come towards me when I am changing their water rather than running away. The Kookaburra was trying to be vocal when I was changing his water and those around him.
Noteably, but not new, the Sunbittern upstairs on display was sitting on the railing letting guests pet him. I shooed him into the exhibit and the keeper in that area told me that the bird is too much of a hassle to deal with anymore and cannot be ignored. Luckily, by the end of the day, the curator decided that we could put him in a "time out" in the basement for a while, and then put him back on exhibit to see if his behavior changes.
Also, it was noted by a coworker and I observed it as well, the Red-billed Hornbill has been pulling apart a plant in his exhibit and then taking the leaves and holding on to them and smacking them against the branches, which is an interesting behavior.
