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.
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.
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.
