Edwarde Youde Aviary

Subject

Aviary

Description

The aviary has a raised walkway that allows visitors to walk through the tree canopy, from which they can watch the birds, trees and plants at various elevations and the whole valley from different angles. The walkway is wheelchair accessible.

The valley floor of the aviary is a streambed full of trees and shrubs, and adorned with shallow pools and small waterfalls. Water goes down the valley and flows into a large pool, which is contiguous with a small lake outside the exit of the aviary and offers a nice place for watching waterfowl.

Display panels with graphic and textual illustrations are erected at the entrance of the aviary to explain the structure and ecology of a tropical rain forest, with particular reference to the bird communities in the aviary.
