Opened in Spring of 2009, Wings is a free-flight interactive aviary that is home to hundreds (more than 400!) of colorful birds. Each bird has been raised in captivity, so they are very comfortable and friendly with people. By purchasing a seed stick for $1, our guests can get even closer and feed the birds.
