Birdland was Olentangy Park's aviary that featured live birds until the park's closure in 1937. It was an outdoor space with steel cages separate from the Museum of Ornithology. It had trees, a pool of water, and an electric fountain with birds and waterfowl.[1] In 1937, it had 15 peacocks and many other birds.[2]
