This project converted the zoo's original alligator exhibit into a bird aviary featuring parakeets, lorikeets, and other small birds.  An original pond and retaining wall were integrated into the exhibit's design.  A boardwalk was installed over the pond and the retaining wall was used to anchor supports for a tent-like structure.  This supported the fabric mesh to contain the small birds.  A small concession/entry hut was constructed in front of the exhibit for visitors to purchase food.  A keeper's house was constructed behind the scenes.  The exhibit is interactive and visitors walk through the aviary to experience the birds up close.
