Bird Kingdom

Bird Kingdom is located in the tourist district of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Previously the home of the Niagara Falls Museum, the building was re-opened as a free flying aviary in May 2003. It is now one of the largest indoor aviaries in the world, encompassing approximately , and it houses over 300 individual birds, the majority of which come from Australia, South America, and Africa. It also houses mammals, insects, and reptiles, and even an amphibian-the dyeing poison frog. Bird Kingdom has been voted Niagara Falls Attraction of the Year four times, and Trip Advisor Destination Winner for 2011 & 2012.〔(Official Website of Bird Kingdom. )〕
== History ==

In 1908, the Spirella Corset Company built a four-story concrete building on the current site of the aviary. By 1958, the company had shrunk in size, resulting in the company's moving their location to a smaller facility. The building was purchased that year by Jacob Sherman, who owned the Niagara Falls Museum. Sherman then renovated the building extensively, adding a five-story viewing tower while also moving 700,000 artifacts to the building.〔(Friendly Ghost Of The Museum & Corset Factory ) Retrieved 2010-12-27.〕 It was discovered later that the museum had been home to the actual mummy of King Ramesses I.〔(History of Bird Kingdom. ) Retrieved 2010-12-27.〕〔(Mummy of Ramesses I. ) Retrieved 2010-12-27.〕 By that time of that discovery, however, the museum was closed and the mummy back in Egypt.
The museum was operated by the Sherman family until 1999, when the maintenance of the building and artifacts became too costly. Most of the artifacts were sold or returned to their place of origin. Larry Vann, a resident of the Niagara area, purchased the museum building. Over the next few years, $15 million was spent on renovations to the building. The renovations included a large addition to the south side of the old museum building. In June 2003, the building re-opened as Bird Kingdom at the Niagara Falls Aviary.〔(History of Niagara Falls Museum ). Retrieved 2010-12-27.〕
