Walk amongst brightly colored birds – and give them a little snack – in the Lorikeet Aviary.³ Additional fee required.

The Lorikeet Aviary is located in Tava’s Jungleland. The Interactive Lorikeet exhibit allows visitors to get up close and personal.

The birds come in a dazzling rainbow of colors – a camoflague among the colorful flowers in their native environments.

Lorikeets are naturally found in rainforests and woodlands, but also in wooded urban areas, where they primarily feed on the nectars of various blossoms and fruits.
