Meet Tupleo! 🐦

This male oriole joined "Down the Bayou" gallery in May after coming to us from a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Pennsylvania. Tupleo was deemed non-releasable after striking a window, which caused him to lose use of one eye and fracture his right wing.

Since arriving, he has quickly settled into his new routine, even voluntarily stepping onto a scale after just one training session! He’s also quite the singer, and the staff love working with him.

Tupleo's story is also an important reminder about the dangers of window strikes. Birds can mistake reflections of the sky and trees for open space and collide with windows. More than 1 billion birds die each year from window strikes. You can help make windows safer for birds by adding stickers, decals, or even custom artwork to make the glass more visible.

Hoop, there it is! ⭕️

Our paddlefish and gar are putting their skills to the test! Our animal care team uses enrichment like hula hoops to encourage natural behaviors, curiosity, and movement. And yes, they make it look easy.

Louisiana’s coast has a story to tell. 🌊 📸

Experience "Sculpted by Water", a limited-time photography exhibit now open at Audubon Aquarium. Featuring breathtaking work from Louisiana photographers P.J. Hahn and Tracy Marcev, the exhibit highlights the animals, wetlands and natural beauty that make our coast so special.

The exhibit also honors the legacy of Philip Cossich, Jr., a tireless advocate for Louisiana’s vanishing wetlands, coastal communities and the people who make their living on the water.

Plus, after seeing the photos, you may be able to spot some of the animals featured in the exhibit right here at the Aquarium!

Located on the Aquarium’s second floor right after the Insectarium, "Sculpted by Water" is included with admission. Come see Louisiana through a new lens!
