Aviary
This is a bird watcher’s paradise, as you will see some of the most exciting and colorful birds of Costa Rica, without binoculars! Our Aviary is a refuge for wild birds that have been either captured illegally by hunters and confiscated by the government or donated by their owners. Many of these birds lack the basic skills to survive in the wild on their own.
In the aviary you will find the following birds:
