Lorikeet Adventure at Columbia's Riverbanks Zoo and Garden
The Lorikeet Walk-Through Aviary at Riverbanks Zoo & Garden in Columbia, SC is one of the zoo's most popular attractions.
Next time you're in the Lorikeet Aviary , check out our new feathered friends! Four young masked lapwings that hatched earlier this year recently moved in. It's that time of year when they naturally leave their parents and learn to live independently. Lapwings are a type of shorebird that typically nest on the ground and eat mostly insects.

We visited the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia on March 13th, and it was another fantastic experience. Every time we come, the zoo seems to get better, and this trip was no exception. Since our last visit, they've continued adding thoughtful improvements, with the newest highlight being the Saluda Skyride, now included with general admission.
