Aviary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aviary is a large enclosure for confining birds. Unlike cages, aviaries allow birds a larger living space in which to fly and simulate a natural environment. Large aviaries are often found in the setting of a zoological garden. Home aviaries are popular with fanciers who have the space for them.
Pittsburgh is home to the USA's National Aviary, perhaps the most prominent example of an aviary not set inside a zoo.
The Saint Louis Zoo is home to the 1904 World's Fair Flight Cage. It is one of the few structures that remains from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In 1904, it was the largest bird cage ever built. It remains one of the world's largest free-flight aviaries. The 228 feet long, 84 feet wide, and 50 feet high cage was built specifically for the St. Louis World's Fair. Local pride in the giant cage motivated St. Louis to finally establish a zoo in 1910.
