Tracy Aviary is currently in the process of achieving our dream of becoming the “Aviary of the Americas” with the recent completion of our master plan, which will change the Aviary as we all know it. With a theme of migration we will trace the migratory path of birds from the southern tip of Argentina to Alaska and back, highlighting the importance Utah plays in that journey. All areas of the Aviary will take on an educational focus and bring your visit to the Aviary to a new level of fun and interest.
Completion of the Chase Mill, Utah’s oldest standing industrial building opened for events in December 2006. The Mill at the Aviary is a historic monument (still bearing the original Brigham Young initials) that is a magnificent addition to Tracy Aviary, offering numerous opportunities for year-round bird programs, special events, and a public meeting space.
Opening to rave reviews in Summer 2005 was Destination Argentina!, the Aviary’s first new exhibit in over 20 years. The money was granted to the Aviary through a bond voted on by the voters of Salt Lake City. This bond passed with 72% of the voters recognizing the benefit and value of Tracy Aviary! Upon completion of Destination Argentina!, Tracy Aviary increased the flamingo collection to twenty and created a walk-through interactive exhibit with guira kookoo's, red crested cardinals, elegant crested tinamou and the always-playful monk parakeets. This exhibit is an excellent example of the look and feel that our new master plan will help us achieve throughout the Aviary grounds.
