Birds
Tennessee Aquarium visitors may be surprised to discover a wide variety of bird species throughout River Journey and Ocean Journey. Look for them rocketing out of the water at
Penguins’ Rock, soaring overhead in the
Cove Forest and
Delta Swamp, perched in the
Tropical Cove and roaming through the rainforest setting of the
Butterfly Garden. Meet new birds, such as a Eurasian eagle owl, trumpeter hornbill, talking parrots and red-fronted macaws while visiting
Ranger Rick’s Backyard Safari. Our feathered friends delight guests and help bring our exhibits to life in a much different way than the creatures that swim below the water’s surface. Meet the Aquarium’s awesome avian species and make bird watching a part of your next Tennessee Aquarium visit.
