The Charity Randall Foundation Eagle Hall

Gaze in on Kodiak, Kody the Steller’s Sea Eagle™® and his new potential mate, 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 pair of Vietnam Pheasants. 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. This pair has already successfully raised one chick since arriving at the National Aviary in late 2018!

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.
