Opening in 1938, Tracy Aviary is the oldest and largest freestanding aviary in the country. Tracy Aviary is home to eight acres of a tranquil wooded area with over 300 birds, including endangered and extinct species. You can see hornbills, cranes, flamingos, eagles, pelicans, macaws, and turkey vultures. This outdoor venue is a fabulous place to spend the day observing all kinds of birds all year round.
When you visit Tracy Aviary, you can enjoy free-flight bird shows, feed the birds, and visit a bird nursery to see how the experts incubate eggs and nurse newborn chicks. It is quite the experience to feed the birds, especially the Lorikeets.
Be ready for the little rainbow birds to land on your arm/hand to eat, and don’t be surprised if one or two land on your head. You can also shadow zookeepers for an additional fee, and they offer an add-on opportunity to go behind the scenes in the Flamingo exhibit.
Tracy Aviary is inside Liberty Park, a popular downtown place for running, walking, swimming, bicycling, tennis, and rowing. You can also go to the Farmers Market, enjoy paddle boats in the pond, and even ride at the hidden-in-plain-sight mini amusement park. Liberty Park is a lovely place to spend a morning or evening with the family, especially with the Tracy Aviary, which provides the perfect escape for bird lovers.
