THIS WINTER ONLY: Rainforest Retreat
Discover the vibrant symphony of the rainforest, where colorful parrots squawk and the wings of Victoria Crowned Pigeons flutter, in our Rainforest Melodies Expert Talk. Dig into how birds play a crucial role in alerting us to environmental dangers, much like canaries once did for coal miners, during Mining Marvels. Meanwhile, social wetland birds like flamingoes communicate through distinct calls to signal danger or express their status within the flock, as explored in our Fabulous Flamingoes Expert Talk. To cap it all off, head to the Helen M. Schmidt FliteZone™ Theater for Tweet That Tune, where you can test your knowledge by guessing bird species based on their calls, all while gaining insights from an Aviary expert. Let us help you plan your visit to the only Aviary with a national designation! Learn more about our Ultimate Aviary Pass here!
