If you’re looking for a fun place to visit this summer, Tracy Aviary fits the bill. The eight-acre aviary is home to more than 400 individual birds representing over 135 species. You can stroll down the paths to see an amazing array of birds big and small, quiet and noisy, brightly-feathered and camouflaged.
If you can’t make it to the aviary, you can still meet several of its most famous residents. Check out Tracy Aviary’s virtual videos:
