National Aviary Commemoratives

Celebrate important occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, and memorials by joining the new National Aviary Commemoratives program! These unique, one-of-a-kind, personalized gifts will bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones, while leaving a lasting impression on our work to save birds and protect habitats!

Condor Court Paver Campaign

A Condor Court Paver provides an opportunity to support our mission and create a significant memory at the National Aviary. Condor Court, home to three impressive Andean Condors — Lianni, Marijo, and Illimani — tells the story of the National Aviary’s work to save this species, which is Critically Endangered in Ecuador, and protect its habitats. Leave your mark for many years to come during the National Aviary Condor Court Paver Campaign.
