I spent an afternoon at the Tracy Aviary. It was a wonderful experience. When I went there was a bird show with various parrots and birds of prey. This was quite enjoyable. I also had a opportunity to feed the birds. Very fun! The peacocks that wonder the aviary are fabulous. I highly recommend the aviary! more

An outstanding place to see exquisite birds you'll never see again in your lifetime.

If you like birds, you will love Tracy Aviary. They have so many birds it's hard to list them all. Flamingos, pelicans, ducks, scarlet ibis, owls, eagles, peacocks, andean condor, emu, cuckoo, hornbill, the list goes on and on. We particularly enjoyed the bird show (called "Avian Idol") in which very knowledgeable staff gave presentations featuring live birds. And with... more

This outdoor aviary has practically evey bird imaginable in it. I never have seen such a variety of birds in one place. I saw peacocks, flamingoes, geese, ducks, raptors, great hornbill, a huge Andean condor, scarlet ibis, even a white-crested laughing thrush. The birds there come from all over the world: Australia, Africa, Asia, USA. All the birds are very... more
