Exhibit Birds

I want to share with you the amazingness that is the exhibit birds at VINS. They are all non-releasable birds (so have some sort of disability that would prevent them from surviving in the wild), and some were rehabilitated at VINS while others were from different centers. I'm not going to do breakdowns of each bird or species, so if you like the looks of one, do some research of your own for now. Perhaps I'll share stories about these guys later. But I do not participate in the husbandry of these guys at all. I just get to walk by them every once in a while and ogle them. So just enjoy it already.
