We’re humming along with local conservation efforts! 🐦

Join Southeastern Avian Research at the Historic Farm on Sunday, Sep. 6 from open until noon to watch hummingbirds being banded and learn how this research helps track their migration and population trends.

Here are three simple ways you can help hummingbirds at home:

🌸 Plant nectar-producing flowers or with careful use of a feeder
📱 Join a citizen science project like Hummingbirds at Home
💦 Provide a water source, such as a fountain, sprinkler or birdbath with a mister

*All banding is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL.

Now nearly four months old, she’s getting bigger every day! Female clouded leopards are smaller than males, usually weighing 25 to 35 pounds, while males can weigh up to 50 pounds.

Happy International Colobine Monkey Day! 🐒

Virginia is one of four black-and-white colobus monkeys who call the Zoo home. This global day highlights colobine monkeys, leaf-eating primates found across Africa and Asia that play a vital role in their ecosystems.

Nashville Zoo is a proud founding member of the Colobus SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program, working alongside AZA partners to protect colobus species across Africa.
