Avian Flu Protocol
Due to the recent notice of Avian Flu diagnosis within 50 miles of our facility, Moody Gardens is taking appropriate steps to mitigate exposure to our animal population within the Rainforest Pyramid.
- Macaws will be removed from perched areas and will not be on exhibit in the Rainforest Pyramid.
- Service animals will not be allowed into this exhibit to appropriately mitigate at-risk services.
- Guests entering the Rainforest Pyramid will be required to stop at a sanitization station where aerosolized ammonia spray will be applied to their shoes and wheels of wheelchairs and strollers. The sanitation station will be located at the entrance of the Rainforest Pyramid.
We appreciate your participation as we implement these protocols for the safety of our animals at Moody Gardens.
