π¦π¦ 2018 Adorable Parrots and Birds of the Hamilton Aviary
Sunday, 06 May 2018 01:00.AM
It all started 90 years ago
At the turn of the century, Thomas Gould left $3,000 of his estate to the Hamilton Zoological Society for a specific purpose "to make the Dundurn Park Zoo more attractive for little children". The money was invested while the Society pondered its use. In May, 1927, when the sum had grown to $5,000, the Society decided to remodel the animal house at the Zoo and turn it into an aviary. The Hamilton Parks Board agreed to do the work and the Society agreed to find the birds.
From 1992 the Hamilton Aviary started working on volunteering basis because of budget cuts from the City of Hamilton. Hundreds of dedicated volunteers giving countless hours of time, energy and effort to care for the flock at the aviary!
New round of government cuts are coming, and aviary forced to vacate it's current building. June 30th is a deadline to finalize a new location.
Take your kids to visit feathered friends. Hamilton Aviary is open every Saturday from 1-4PM to the public. Entry is free! Every and all donations go directly back to the birds, their wellbeing, and their happiness.
