Birdland, sometimes stylized as Bird-Land, was Olentangy Park's aviary that featured live birds from 1929[1][2][3] until the park's closure in 1937. It was an outdoor space with steel cages separate from the Museum of Ornithology. It had hundreds of birds, including waterfowl, a pool, and an electric fountain.[4][5] In 1937, it had fifteen peacocks and many other birds.[6]
