Metrozoo Aviary - Wings of Asia

New in May 2003, new 50,000-square-foot aviary Wings of Asia, the Western Hemisphere's largest open-air Asian aviary, replaces the zoo's original aviary, which was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

The exhibit resembles ancient ruins, complete with decaying walls, babbling streams and an Asian temple, and should withstand winds of a category 5 hurricane. A tent-like, iron-mesh netting covers the free-flight area. The designers focused on replicating natural systems, and visitors can now enjoy waterfalls; an underwater viewing area complete with ducks, fish and turtles; three observation levels; and the exhibition of many birds in their natural flocks.
