Homes for Birds
Each month, the Virginia Zoo Gift Shop shines a spotlight on a different animal or topic. Our Animal Spotlight features thoughtfully curated items inspired by that month's highlighted species.
This month, we're highlighting birds in celebration of Homes for Birds Week, a time dedicated to supporting nesting birds as they prepare for the spring.
