Get ready to fla-mingle! Put on your finest pink attire and head to the National Aviary for the return of Flamingo Fest. Make a funky craft inspired by our flock, learn all about this long-legged wader from Aviary experts, and meet our flock in a coastally-inspired Wetlands habitat.

Continue the flamingo fun and join us for Brushes & Birds, a painting experience with Maria DeSimone Prascak of Maria’s Ideas (MariasIdeas.com) on Sun., March 1, when you’ll create a flamingo portrait to take home. And yes, the flamingoes are pictured wading in Downtown Pittsburgh's iconic fountain!
