Birdland was Olentangy Park's aviary that featured live birds from 1929[1] 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.[2] In 1937, it had fifteen peacocks and many other birds.[3]
