Heron gone and back again!

This past summer, during one of the storms that came through, one of our Black Crowned Night Heron Chicks had to be pulled out for some extra care after he fell out of one of the trees in our outdoor coastal plains aviary. Animal care staff found the little guy and brought him into one of our indoor animal areas for a few days worth of care so he could be returned to the exhibit to live with his family out in the exhibit. I’m happy to report that he’s been returned to the exhibit and is adjusting very well. He’s able to move around the exhibit without any effort and he’s enjoying spending time with his bird family.

Heads Up!

The Virginia Living Museum staff will begin setting up for an after hours event around 3PM on the main floor.

This should not interfere with your experience and we will not be closing early.

Heads Up! The Changing Exhibit Gallery, where our Wild Explorations exhibit lives, will close at 3PM today in preparation for an after hours event!
