About this activity

Is it a bird?  Is it a plane?  No wait,  it's hundreds of birds!

Tracy Aviary is eight acres of beautiful flora which is home to over 400 stunning, cheeky and chirpy birds.

The fascinating exhibits are year round, so you can ensure you can keep coming back to learn more.  They hold entertaining bird shows, as well as allowing you to get right up close with the Sun Conures - a super exciting experience where the birds eat right out of your hand!  If you talk to them, you never know, they might just understand you!

If you loved this hands on experience, you can get close to the funny looking but super cute Pelicans, and feed them their very fishy meal.

There is also the South American Pavillion where you can witness dozens of beautiful and colorful species, each with their own stories of their journey.  Can you guess what a Keel-Billed Toucan looks like?

Twit twoo!  Twit twoo!  If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will love the Owl Forest.  Which owl would you pick to attend Wizard School with? Here you can learn the habits and nature of these silent nocturnal birds - unless you stay up past your bedtime this might be the best time to see them for yourselves!

A very important education for kids is the Rare Bird exhibit.  Here they will understand why some bird species are falling numbers, and have become endangered, and why it is important for us to all keep our planet happy and healthy. 

There are special events always taking place across the year, from scheduled bird walks to adventure summer camps, so keep an eye out for those!
