Top 5 Aviaries at the San Diego Zoo in no particular order. 1. The Hummingbird Habitat. 2. The Woodland Aviary in Africa Rocks. 3. Owens Aviary. 4. Parker Aviary. 5. Scripps Aviary. Filmed November 2022. Set to pretty music. Video opens with the Macaw Release that opens each day at the San Diego zoo. The Hummingbird Habitat was new to the zoo in 2021. The Hummingbird Habitat is just before the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp and next to the Komodo Dragon area. It features cascading water, orchids, anthuriums, palms and other rare plants reflecting the diversity and beauty of the birds’ native regions—as well as an open-water pool that guests can view from an observation bridge along the pathway. Did you know that San Diego County is home to three hummingbird species? Then we go to the Africa Rocks Woodland Aviary. There are more than 30 species of colorful birds in this two level aviary. Prominently featured is the bee-eater which nests in the rocks and eats bees. You can see them being fed in this video. The Owens Aviary features birds from South East Asia. They are very colorful and the habitat has some wonderful waterfalls. The Parker Aviary is just up from the Owens Aviary and features colorful African birds. The final Aviary in the video is the Scripps Aviary. You can find this aviary by walking down Monkey Trail from the front of the zoo. The aviary was sparsely populated during this visit as it has been all fall. This may be seasonal or in part due to the bird flu that has many of the zoo birds moved off habitat to alternative locations. This includes the eagles, condors, flamingos, and penguins.
