Aviary

Swoop and soar

Completed on May 31, 1937, the Aviary is a home for birds from around the world. A unique feature of the exterior of this building actually came from local housewives. When word spread that builders were utilizing recycled materials, local housewives collected all of their unused small sample tiles from door-to-door salesmen and donated them to the Zoo. The tiles can still be seen along the top of the building in diamond and square designs.
