Abstract:

Pictured parrots such as the South American Macaw have a reputation at Sylvan Heights Bird Park that's seemingly oxymoron by nature. Beauty can be perceived in their multi-colored plumage. The on-site perches and benches are vulnerable to their beaks and talons’ destructive potential.

Abstract:

Since 2006, Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park has experienced changes that go beyond its name, Sylvan Height Bird Park. Numerical growth is represented in fifty visitors a day to five hundred, staff of less than ten to triple the number, and a few exotic breeds to 2,000 plus birds. Its original five aviaries have expanded to nature trails, a playground, educational programs, and interactive exhibits such as the Landing Zone and Wings of the Tropics.

Abstract:

Once a town has been established as a bird sanctuary, deeds such as erecting feeding stations, planting fruit bearing shrubs, and discouraging disruptive behavior can help your town become a real sanctuary.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Colonial Wildlife Management Committee was formed in 1983 with a memorandum of understanding signed by 10 agencies and conservation groups in forging a commitment to protect North Carolina waterbird populations and their habitats. It was recognized from an early point that migrating waterbirds were making substantial use of man-made islands, creating by the activates of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Largely due to the efforts of Dr. James Parnell and Thomas Henson many of these were acquired by the Wildlife Resources Commission in the early 2000s. In all, there are 23 dredged material islands managed by the Commission and Audubon North Carolina biologists.
