Tracy Aviary

Tracy Aviary’s mission is to foster caring for the natural world. Enriching and transforming lives through our connection to birds. Tracy Aviary is located on eight acres of land in the heart of Salt Lake City. A charitable act by Salt Lake City banker Russell Lord Tracy founded Tracy Aviary when he donated his private bird collection to Salt Lake City and its children. Open to the public since 1938, Tracy Aviary maintains a collection of approximately 400 birds representing about 135 species. Many of these birds are considered rare or endangered. Your guests will love to watch the proud peacocks, curious guinea fowl, and wild rock doves while listening to the accompaniment of a chorus of songbirds. Quiet park benches and serene pathways are ideal for an intimate encounter with nature. Tracy Aviary is currently in the process of achieving our dream of becoming the “Aviary of the Americas” with the recent completion of our master plan, which will change the Aviary, as we all know it. With a theme of migration we will trace the migratory path of birds from the southern tip of Argentina to Alaska and back, highlighting the importance Utah plays in that journey. All areas of the Aviary will take on an educational focus and bring your visit to the Aviary to a new level of fun and interest.
