Aviary's annex gives visitors bird's-eye view of medical care

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "The North Side bird park on Tuesday introduced its bird hospital annex, which features a window through which visitors can watch Wanda the peregrine falcon have her cracked beak repaired, Beaker the American flamingo have his wing splint changed or Pearl the spotted owl get a shot."

What a great idea. As all us theatre people know, seeing something happen makes us feel more for the character (or animal in this case) than just hearing about it. This should make the audience or visitors more sympathetic with the birds. Who knows, this might spike a generation full of veterinarians.
