The mission of Austin Zoo is to assist animals in need through rescue, conservation and education. We currently have over 300 animals, representing more than 100 different species. Our animal collection includes animals from other facilities that are being retired due to age, health or other issues; animals that were seized in animal cruelty cases; retired laboratory research animals and rehomed exotic pets.
Austin Zoo is a private, non-profit zoo and as such, we do not receive any funding from the city or state. Your purchases enable us to continue to care for the animals we have, and to be able to take in new animals that need a safe home. Please remember to indicate 'Austin Zoo' as the beneficiary of your donation at check-out.
Blue and Gold Macaws (Ara ararauna) are highly intelligent, mate for life and can live up to 60 years. These birds congregate in flocks of 100 or more individuals and mated pairs fly close together with their wings almost touching. The vibrant color and pattern of their feathers make them a popular species in the illegal pet trade, which has devastated populations of wild exotic birds.
