Chilean flamingos, red-breasted geese and swan geese wade in the water of the Waterfowl Lagoon. The birds’ bright colors and loud calls draw visitors from throughout the zoo.

Mudflats in the exhibit give flamingos the chance to build “mud towers” for nesting, and the indoor warmth of the Flamingo Habitat provides shelter during the cold of winter.
