Look at how our blue-and-yellow macaw sits on his perch. Very demure. Very mindful. Very cutesy.

If you haven’t seen this trend, you may be confused, but basically we love our birds and think they deserve lots of love and attention. Just look how demure he is!

We love birds here at the East Idaho Aquarium!

Birds are very intelligent animals so they need a lot of stimulation to be happy! To help them do just that, we have training sessions with them regularly to challenge their brains and bond with them!

You can also schedule time with our birds individually through our bird encounter!

Stop in and come say, “Hi!” to Phoenix today!
