The National Aviary is America’s bird zoo. Located on Pittsburgh’s
historic North Side, the National Aviary’s diverse collection comprises
more than 600 birds from around the world, many of them threatened
or endangered in the wild. The National Aviary’s large walk-through
exhibits create an experience unlike any other – an intimate interaction
between visitors and free-flying birds, including opportunities to hand-feed
and meet many species rarely found in zoos anywhere else in the
