McNeil Avian Center Grand Opening May 30, 2009

Help welcome beautiful rhinoceros hornbills, exotic Victoria crowned pigeons, crafty hammerkops and more to their new home inside the $17 million renovation of the Zoo's original 1916 Bird House. Explore exhibits such as the Center's African Savanna, Pacific Islands, Tropical Rainforest and the Central American Shade Coffee Plantation, which immerse visitors in the exotic landscape of each bird species while these feathered friends soar overhead and sing from the trees. See training demonstrations and feedings, and learn about migration in the Zoo's new multi-sensory 4-D Migration Theater.
