    It's been 20 years since the opening of Flamingo Gardens Free-flight Aviary in September of 1991, one of the first displays of its kind, giving a home to permanently injured Florida native birds. It boasts over 250 birds and over 45 species, with the distinction of being the largest collection of Florida wading birds in the state. In the last 20 years the birds in the Aviary have successfully bred close to 2000 birds which have been released back into the wild.

    Flamingo Gardens celebrates the Aviary's 20th Anniversary with the Flamingo Gardens' Native Bird Festival on Labor Day. Florida native birds will be featured with a special guided tour of the Aviary, Raptor demonstrations, and other bird presentations throughout the gardens, with special talks and lectures on birds and birding during the day in the Gallery and a bird and wildlife Craft Show in the Courtyard. The highlight will be an exhibit about the Free-flight Aviary and its accomplishments in the past twenty years.
