Pittsburgh National Aviary

On Sunday, I visited the Pittsburgh aviary, which has around 600 birds on display.

The white-headed wattled lapwing.



Two inca terns .




Three strange birds. :-)




The female taveta golden weaver selects the male depending on the male's ability to build a nice nest.




A sloth, demonstrating the climber's wisdom that hanging straight downwards costs the least energy.




The bird is called "shrek", however I don't know its species.




A roseate spoonbill .




A red-crowned crane .
