It is great to see the Aviary making improvements. Tracy Aviary has long been a hidden treasure of the Salt Lake area, sidelined by Hogle Zoo grabbing the headlines. Hopefully more area residents will look past some of the aesthetic obstacles of the aviary and take time to notice the birds.

I grew up across the street from Liberty Park and spent many summer days in the aviary. The Tracy Aviary instilled in me a love of birds to the point where I have raised many different species and have even written a book about one in particular.

To me it is a great blessing that the aviary is still there and it is terrific to see some investment going into it. I am also thrilled to see them develop an exhibit of local birds which will thrive and educate.
