See owls and sea birds up close in this unique place near the Mote Aquarium. On weekends you can almost touch them when they are brought out to meet the guests.

I was surprised at the assortment of birds - large and small - that I was able to see at such close range. I was also happy to know that I was helping to contribute money to the care and rehabilitation of injured birds.
