Zoo Bird, also known as the Paraíso da Criança or Zoo das Aves, is a specialized wildlife sanctuary located in Poços de Caldas, Brazil. The facility functions primarily as a bird park, focusing on the conservation and rehabilitation of native Brazilian avian species. It features large, walk-through aviaries that allow visitors to observe birds in environments simulating their natural habitats. The park prioritizes animal welfare and environmental education, hosting several species of parrots, macaws, and toucans. The site is situated near the Represa Bortolan, contributing to a lush, humid microclimate that supports the local flora within the park grounds. Many of the animals residing here are rescued individuals that cannot be returned to the wild due to previous injuries or human imprinting.
