Saturday, May 31 |  Included with General Admission 

Visit the National Aviary on World Parrot Day to learn about parrots around the world and their incredible adaptations! Fly like a parrot through the Aviary on a themed scavenger hunt* AND attend a special, one-day-only expert talk at 1 pm next to our Tropical Rainforest waterfall. 

#DidYouKnow you can use your consumer dollars to help wild parrots? 

• One major issue affecting rainforests is habitat loss, caused by unsustainable harvesting practices for products like palm oil. You can help by purchasing products that use sustainable palm oil; just download the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Sustainable Palm Oil Shopping app!
• Another significant issue is deforestation caused by unsustainable coffee farming. Vast areas of forests are cleared to cultivate coffee beans. By choosing bird-friendly coffee, you’re not only enjoying a delicious brew but also supporting the preservation of forests around the globe. Look for the Smithsonian National Zoo’s bird-friendly stamp of approval during your next grocery trip.

Don’t forget to roll your General Admission cost into a National Aviary Membership to receive FREE admission to the Aviary for an entire year and other exclusive benefits, all of which help to further our work to save birds and protect their habitats. 

*Visitors can take part in the scavenger hunt ALL DAY LONG!
