Pinola Aviary, Shreveport Louisiana April 2, 2016

We spent an extraordinary day at the amazing Pinola Aviary located near Shreveport, Louisiana. It is a private aviary containing 300 species of birds  Primarily producing waterfowl, they encourage each bird to reproduce and also distribute their surplus birds to other qualified private, public and institutional aviaries and zoological parks.The purpose of this facility is the captive preservation and propagation of birds, not display, therefore the facility is closed to the public. A huge shout out to Jacob and Jessica for hosting our visit and to Marc for allowing me to tag along.
