The new McNeil Avian Center takes visitors around the world from the African Savanna to a Central American Coffee Plantation, culminating in an object theater exploration of bird migration - the overarching theme of the Center. Incorporating lush walk-through habitats, visitors discover over 100 spectacular birds from around the world, many of them rare and endangered. The Portico-designed exhibits immerse visitors in exotic landscapes full of color and sound.
