Did you know the mockingbird is the official bird of Texas?  Nearly 360-bird species breed in Texas, but only the Golden-cheeked Warbler nests exclusively in this state.   Come out of your nest and explore the wonders, fascinations, and interesting facts of birds and their behavior during our Amazing Aviation week.

ACTIVITIES: 

• Amazing Avians:  Stop by the EcoStation and discover some interesting facts about birds and their nests, listen to the chirps of various birds and compare them to each other, and create a bird field guide you can  take home to explore the amazing birds in your neighborhood.  
• Paper Chopper:  Birds aren’t the only ones who can fly. Design your own helicopter and soar to new heights in Junktion!
• Cockpit View: Just because you can’t physically fly like a bird doesn’t mean you don’t know what it’s like to be in the sky. Use your imagination and experience from a plane ride and draw what you might see out the window from the cockpit of a plane in Junktion. 
• Parachute Physics: See what the wind can do to a miniature parachute that you create in Junktion.
