Winged Wonders

This spring, a fantastical flock of giant bamboo birds lands at the Garden to enchant both the young and young at heart!

This spring, a fantastical flock of giant bamboo birds lands at the Garden to enchant both the young and young at heart!

Marvel at the majestic 20-foot wingspan of an Acorn Woodpecker in flight amongst the Garden’s oak trees; take photos with a friendly 10-foot-tall Western Bluebird; and delight in encounters with larger-than-life owls, quail, and more in every corner of the Garden.

The colossal sculptures up to 20 feet tall are made entirely from natural materials by Boston-based artist duo Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein to highlight the beauty and diversity of California’s native birds and the ecosystems that support them. The bamboo sculptures all reflect the species that make their home in the grasslands, forests, and vineyards of the Garden.
