Rainforest Parking Meters

Have you ever seen these unique-looking parking meters around the Aviary and wondered what they’re for? Tracy Aviary is participating with SaveNature.org to help save rainforest habitat from being destroyed.

Next time you’re walking by, check out one of these old parking meters that has been transformed into a habitat saving machine. To activate, simply place change into the parking meter and turn the dial. Instead of a violation flag appearing, a thankful hummingbird will fly across the meter and voila! 100% of your donation will be sent directly to the SaveNature.org to help save and restore habitat for wild animals and plants.

Not sure how much your spare change can help? A helpful guide is included on the meters. For instance, 25 cents can spare 90-square-feet from being destroyed.
