North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke IslandPosts

Conservation Action that’s for the Birds!
Bird collisions with man-made structures (also known as bird strikes) kill up to one billion birds per year in North America. These often-fatal interactions are a result of birds not recognizing that windows and glass are solid barriers. Globally, the bird populations has fallen by 25% since the 1970s, and bird collisions are a large part of the problem.

Through the support of a grant from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation, the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island (NCARI) will be installing Feather Friendly®Bird Film on identified problem areas around the facility this spring.

Applied to the exterior of existing windows and doors and featuring a 2 by 2 grid of white squares that make glass visible to passing birds, while not significantly impacting sightlines, this unobtrusive technology is proven to be a durable, cost-effective solution to reducing bird strikes.

We can't wait for you all to see this in the Spring!

This Valentine’s Week, we’re celebrating all kinds of duos - best friends, family, chosen family, and the people who make Aquarium visits even better. 🩷 Our Dual Membership is perfect for sharing Aquarium moments with your favorite person. It can include one named adult and a flexible guest or two named adults, making it easy to visit together!

Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate? Dual Memberships can also be gifted, making it a thoughtful way to surprise someone you love with a year of Aquarium experiences. From animal pairs to unforgettable memories, some things really are better in twos.
