Franklin, Spectacle Owl Chick, at National Aviary
National Aviary was designated Honorary National Status in 1993. Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the aviary was founded in 1952. It experienced difficult financial times, but now it seems to have a strong foundation. It is presently the custodian of around 500 birds, many of which are endangered or threatened. It is also home to the adorable Wookiee, a two-toed sloth. Features include the Wetlands, Condor Court, and Penguin Point. Children can learn more at: National Aviary.
