One of our kea’s favorite activities is finding hidden toys and treats! Our keepers will hide small containers, tennis balls, bells, or yummy treats inside of larger toys, such as this dump truck, for our kea to unload and enjoy. These clever birds will also enjoy pushing toy trucks around their enclosure. To keep our kea riding in style, check out our Amazon Smile wishlist at www.tracyaviary.org/upcoming-events/giving-tree. #kea #birds #givingtree #donate #tracyaviary #utah #ut #slc #saltlakecity (at Tracy Aviary)

To help us handle our larger birds, like this King Vulture, we target train them. Target training is teaching the birds to walk up and touch a brightly colored object, like a tennis ball. We’d love your help in giving the birds all the tennis balls they could possibly need.

Our keas are really hard on their toys. Keepers will hide yummy treats inside items, such as this wiffleball, for keas to extract. Help us get some new wiffleballs, or much tougher Jolly balls for them this holiday so they have toys for the year to come.

Tracy aviary has a brand new Plush Crested Jay and his favorite game is to rip things apart. So far, this includes newspaper cut into tassels, paper streamers, and leaves off of plants. He would love a holiday present of some newspaper from your house or paper streamers from our Amazon wish list. Donations can be dropped off at the aviary under our Holiday Giving Tree.

Enrichment is for the birds! This year at Tracy Aviary, check out the Holiday Giving Tree, designed to provide bird lovers with a fun, easy way to support the birds this holiday season. Tracy Aviary provides the birds with enrichment items to stimulate their mind and body's well-being and now, so can you! For some birds, enrichment can be accomplished with easy to find objects. For the more intelligent bird-brains on site, more complex items are greatly enjoyed. So stop into our gift shop and grab an ornament to find out what common household items can be used to make fun bird enrichment, or visit our Amazon Smile wishlist via http://tracyaviary.org/upcoming-events/giving-tree to check out some of the toys that our birds love to play with. #enrichment #aviculture #birds #givingtree #tracyaviary (at Tracy Aviary)

Meet Annie, an educator here at Tracy Aviary, and read where she chose to Opt Outside this Black Friday. To join her, check out our programs and times at http://tracyaviary.org/natureinthecity. "I chose Miller Park because it is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city without having to go too far! It's a hidden gem; you wouldn't even know it was there if you just drove by. And it is a prime spot for exploring! There is a beautiful trail, a river running through the middle, and plenty of nooks to find the perfect nature treasure. Will you go out with me?" @rei #OptOutside #rei #blackfriday #birds #education #tracyaviary #saltlakecity #slc #utah #ut (at Tracy Aviary)

Join Kylie, one of our amazing educators, to opt outside November 25th. Read below to learn why she chose CityCreek Canyon to lead one of our Nature in the City programs: "On Black Friday, instead of waiting in line at a store, I'll be on a nature walk, wandering along the beautiful trails of City Creek Canyon. This is one of my happy places. The further I go into the canyon, the faster the drama and stress of daily life melts away. Breathing the fresh air, fretting fellow hikers, and (of course) seeking out birds along the trail all help to remind me what a radiant, wonderful, and hopeful world I live in. That's why I'm choosing to opt outside on Black Friday. Will you go out with me?"
