I can't wait to attend this show. I am also very interested in the glass that is used. The birds think it is solid and don't fly into it.
The 10,000-square-foot expansion includes "the world's first and only indoor theater constructed exclusively" for shows featuring free-flying parrots, vultures, hawks, owls, gulls, vultures, eagles and other birds.National Aviary spreads its wings

After lunch, we ended up in a bookstore, where we met, Sarah, the “Bird Nurse” at the National Aviary. When she found out we had come up there just to see the Aviary, she offered to show us things behind the scenes when we got there the next day. I was more excited that a child waiting for Christmas morning to arrive. Hardly slept that night. I praise the Lord for letting us meet up with her and know it was not just an “accident.”
