The park is home to the largest macaw aviary in the world.
It functions primarily as a rescue center, with most animals unable to return to the wild due to health or behavioral factors.
The park serves as a hub for the recovery of the Blue-fronted Parrot and the Red-tailed Amazon.
The visitor circuit is designed as a linear path through the subtropical forest, minimizing human impact on animal habitats.
It manages a significant breeding program for the Helmeted Curassow, a species nearing extinction in the wild.
The butterfly house features over 25 species of butterflies native to the Foz do Iguaçu region.
The facility is entirely privately funded through ticket sales and donations, operating independently of government subsidies.
Parque das Aves is a conservation and rescue center located directly adjacent to the Iguaçu National Park entrance. It houses over 1,300 animals representing 140 species, primarily focusing on birds native to the Atlantic Forest. The facility operates as a private rescue sanctuary where the majority of residents are birds saved from trafficking or illegal captivity. Visitors walk through several large-scale immersion aviaries designed to simulate natural ecosystems. The park includes specific enclosures for reptiles, such as caimans and anacondas, and a butterfly house. Ongoing research and breeding programs contribute to the reintroduction of endangered species into the wild. The layout utilizes elevated paths and protective netting to facilitate close-range observation of avian behavior. It is the only institution in the world focused on the conservation of Atlantic Forest birds.

Use high-speed shutter settings on your camera, as birds move quickly in the open-flight aviaries.
Wear insect repellent, as the park is situated within a dense, humid rainforest environment.
Visit the aviaries during the morning when animal activity levels are higher due to lower temperatures.
Avoid touching the protective netting or attempting to interact physically with free-flying birds.
Open daily throughout the year, including weekends and public holidays.
Do not feed the animals, maintain silence in sensitive breeding zones, and stay strictly on marked paths.
