Now twice the size with double the amount of birds, the aviary expansion includes a new small-bird sanctuary, which will allow guests to hand-feed hundreds of tiny birds such as finches, honeycreepers and hummingbirds; and a new large-bird sanctuary featuring interactions with larger birds, such as tucans and red-legged seriema. Continuing to add more hands-on experiencs, Discovery Cove now allows up to 12 guests a day to work side-by-side and behind-the-scenes with animal experts in the "Trainer for a Day" program. Whether it's an in-water training experience with a dolphin, pampering a pygny falcon, feeding tropical fish or playing with an anteater, participants have the opportunity to train and care for these unique animals.
