Wings of Asia - The Beauty of Birds

The "Wings of Asia" aviary at Zoo Miami is the largest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. It is home to nearly 400 birds representing over 75 different species. It serves as a window into the world of Asian birds for those who will never have the opportunity to see them in the wild. With bird populations plummeting all around the world, this video is an effort to reveal their beauty while hopefully inspiring visitors to care about birds in general and hopefully want to protect them for future generations. The storyline of the video was to document a day in the life of birds in the exhibit, from sundown to sunset, using nothing more than natural sounds captured within the aviary, combined with the natural sounds produced by the birds. It follows them from the time they wake up through their activities during the day, ranging from preening to feeding to courting, and then concludes as they fall asleep at sunset.
