McCormick Bird House

Birds from the tropics, seashores, forests, wetlands, and savannas all have room to roost at McCormick Bird House. In this space, guests can see bird species that are extinct, threatened, or endangered in the wild and learn about Lincoln Park Zoo’s efforts to preserve and protect these at-risk populations.

Bird House features nearly a dozen naturalistic habitats that replicate a range of ecosystems, as well as a tropical free-flight aviary. During daily free-flight feeding enrichment, interpreted by the zoo’s Learning staff, guests can witness the zoo’s expert animal care in action.
