Blue and Gold Macaws Get a bird’s-eye-view of the scenery as you
circle up the walkways of our aviary. You’ll start out on the
forest floor, where ducks paddle and turkeys gobble, then make
your way to the treetop perches of porcupines, cardinals, and
egrets. What To See and Do Test your birding skills. Keep an eye
out for a variety of bird species, including quaker parakeets,
turkey buzzards, cattle egrets, and pintail ducks. See a relic
of the New York World’s Fair. Before it was a home for birds,
this geodesic dome—designed by Buckminster Fuller—was part of
the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows. Look out for prickly
patches. North American porcupines roost in a tree. Though
covered in quills, porcupines are not aggressive and defend
themselves only when threatened. Enjoy the view. From your high
perch over Flushing Meadows Park, spy on coyotes and look over a
canopy of colors.
