The Charity Randall Foundation Eagle Hall

Experience the quiet majesty of one of the rainforest’s most powerful birds: a Harpy Eagle. Affectionately dubbed Dariéna (Dare EE awn ă) by Aviary friends, Brian and Sandra Moroney, through our Name-A-Bird program, she is the only KNOWN Harpy Eagle living in the Northeast United States. She’s a sight you won’t soon forget with her striking gaze, enormous wingspan, and talons that rival those of a Grizzly Bear!

Gaze in on Kodiak, Kody the Steller’s Sea Eagle™® and Aurora in their S&T Bank-sponsored habitat! Steller’s Sea Eagles are considered one of the world’s largest eagle species and feature distinct yellow beaks. Fun fact: female birds of prey are generally larger than their male counterparts…see if you can spot the difference between Kody and Aurora based on this knowledge!

As you travel down The Charity Randall Foundation Eagle Hall, meet two colorful birds, Mango and Tango, a pair of Toco Toucans! Mango and Tango share their habitat, TreeTops Presented by Peoples, with a Vietnam Pheasant. Native to the forests of Vietnam, this species was last seen in the wild in 2000 and is considered by some to be Extinct in the Wild.

Avian Care Center

In The Charity Randall Foundation Eagle Hall, you can see a glimpse into our state-of-the-art Avian Hospital, via the Avian Care Center Sponsored by Your Town Realty. Depending on when you visit, you may see an egg incubating or a chick taking its first steps!

Protecting Birds of Prey

With piercing eyes, a call that echoes through the trees, and wings that command the skies, birds of prey remain one of the most dominant species in their respective domains. As apex predators, these birds play key roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. YOU can help protect the habitats that they reign over through tips and tricks from the National Aviary Green Team.
