The Regenstein Birds of Prey Exhibit is a lush outdoor habitat containing some of the zoo’s most intriguing animals.

Birds of prey are considered nature’s clean-up crew. They are predatory birds that possess sharp, hooked bills and talons, essential tools for capturing small animals or feeding on carrion. Cinereous vultures share a large section of the habitat with white storks. The stately bald eagle and snowy owls live in neighboring enclosures.
