You can also “flamingle” with American Flamingos in the Wetlands and find serenity in the Grasslands. Experience immersive, natural habitats like the Tropical Rainforest, where a young family of Victoria Crowned Pigeons strut right past your feet and Southern Bald Ibises fly by your head.

The National Aviary is thrilled to welcome Marge to the African Penguin colony at Penguin Point! Marge is an important little penguin. She is the first chick hatched to parents Buddy and Holly, and the eleventh African Penguin to hatch at the National Aviary. Since hatching on January 3, Marge has proven herself to be a resilient and spirited penguin. Marge is a beacon of hope for African Penguins, which are endangered, with only 13,000 pairs remaining in the wild in South Africa. Read more about Marge’s story, and support the expert care that is helping this young penguin thrive.
