For over half a century, the Tropical Rainforest exhibit has remained a Pittsburgh treasure and its silhouette has become just as famous as the birds. When Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) provided 19,600 square-feet of Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass featuring AviProtek® bird-friendly Velour acid-etched finish by Walker Glass, it wished to maintain the building that visitors have come to cherish. In this video, Executive Director of the National Aviary Cheryl Tracy talks about the significance of the Tropical Rainforest’s transformation and why bird-friendly glass is necessary.
