American Eagle Foundation (AEF) has made its home at Dollywood Theme Park for over 30 years. By hosting the Wings of America free-flying bird show in Craftsman’s Valley, AEF has been able to showcase its mission pillars and educate millions of Dollywood guests on the importance of conserving birds of prey.
As part of their commitment to this longstanding partnership, Dollywood recently opened its 40th Anniversary season, which included new and expanded aviaries for the AEF Wings of America Show Birds. These custom-designed aviaries feature several natural light sources and extensive viewing areas, providing a memorable experience for guests and birds alike!
“Our birds love performing in the Wings of America show, and we’ve seen a tremendous increase in positive bird behaviors since they’ve been in these new aviaries. We’re thankful to partner with the team at Dollywood, which is committed to the highest quality of avian care, “said American Eagle Foundation Executive Director Jessica Hall.
