Pittsburgh -- National Aviary

The National Aviary in Pittsburgh is a great place to spend an afternoon, and a great place to photograph exotic birds. The Aviary has about 500 birds from around the world, from tiny finches to large eagles and condors.

This African Grey Parrot was a "rescue". While owning parrots is not advisable for many reasons, their beauty and personalities makes it easy to see why people have wanted to keep them.
The Argus Pheasants liked to hide in the foliage, but the patterns on the feathers are stunning.
Flamingoes -- standing on one foot and twisting their necks in improbable curves.
Long-tailed Finch.
The Owl Finch really does have a face like a barn owl.
Brown Pelican.
The Snowy Owls liked to stay half-hidden.
The world's largest pigeon -- the Victoria Crowned Pigeon.
