Wings of the World
Wings of the World is located at the entrance to the park, and offers an alternate path into the Safari Base Camp. This free-flight aviary offers a magnificent collection of birds from around the world.
There are no barriers between guests and the birds, creating an up close and personal view of the many colorful species.
Everything in the aviary is designed to approximate the birds’ natural settings, including large rock outcroppings, pools, waterfalls, and exotic tropical foliage.
There are so many different birds here, that you're likely to see something new on every visit. This is one of my favorite exhibits in the park. Below is a list of the many birds I've been able to photograph.
