The National Aviary’s Tropical Rainforest exhibit has long been the home of countless tropical birds. 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 in an effort to provide these birds an even safer home for years to come. In this video, National Aviary Director of Buildings and Grounds Keith Sines explains the importance of ensuring the safety of birds and staff, challenges in preparation of the installation, and why bird-friendly glass is so important.
