The Austral-Asia Loop has a free-flight aviary where the cockatoos, eclectus parrots, kookaburras and cockatiels offer a rousing welcome.

For an up-close encounter, guests can feed the rainbow lorikeets fruity nectar or seed sticks to the cockatiles. Indonesian fruit bats (also known as flying fox), muntjacs (tiny deer from China), cassowaries (giant prehistoric-looking birds), warty pigs, wallabies, kangaroos, turtles, and emus round out the visit. Brevard Zoo supports conservation projects in Papua, New Guinea and the Phillippines.
