National Aviary

While in Pittsburgh, my parents and I visited the National Aviary, a rather impressive indoor zoo dedicated to birds. There were several exhibits that you could just walk into an enclosure and be inches away from exotic birds. I really wanted to share some more shots. Click to view in theater mode.
