For Dad!
As summer approaches, stock Dad up on new t-shirts, including National Aviary swag. Choose from a selection of birding guides and books ideal for birdwatching or opt for a bird-shaped cork screw, perfect for opening Dad’s favorite summer beverage. Don’t forget the best gift of all time – socks (with birds on them)!
For Grads!
Gift your Grad with a brand new keychain for their future apartment or dorm room keys, or add a bit of pizazz to their reading with a funny bird-themed bookmark! You know what else is great for a Grad that’s moving? A cute piece of decor, like a skunk-inspired painting by Maria DeSimone Prascak. Hydration is key for walking around campus, so be sure to grab an environmentally friendly reusable cup.
Hosting a Graduation Party?
Treat your graduate (and their friends and family) to the beautiful sights of our historic Rose Garden and panoramic views of Lake Elizabeth with a Graduation Party in our LEED-Gold Certified event space, The Garden Room. Let our experienced team of professionals help coordinate a seamless experience and add-on an Avian Encounter for even more post-grad fun!

Hold a wise owl on your gloved-hand, see the piercing eyes of a falcon up close, hang with a Linnaeus’s Two-toed Sloth, or share a special moment with an African Penguin during a National Aviary Animal Encounter! Explore our flourishing habitats with your Mom, Dad, or Grad as birds soar and perch overhead!

Condor Court Paver
Have your Mom, Dad, or Grad’s name engraved on a Condor Court paver, home to the only two Andean Condors that hatched in North American zoos in 2022: Marijo and Illimani. Each Condor Court Paver supports our work to save birds and protect their habitats while creating a special memory onsite at the Aviary. Any new orders received now through September 30, 2025, will be part of our Spring 2026 installation.
