A unique form of structure, the Mini-Aviary is a special form of enclosure meant to contain special animals that couldn't be accommodated in one of Prehistoric Kingdom's regular habitats. Designed to meet the optimal needs for its specialized inhabitants, the Mini-Aviary will bring a selection of tiny flying animals to the park.
Necessary in order to contain these special animals, the Mini-Aviary is not a necessary function for the park but is especially useful for bringing even more guests into the zoo.
Description[]
When placed, a Mini-aviary is boxy and unornamented, largely composed of metal and wiring, with a chain-link mesh stretched across a metal cage built atop a concrete base, allowing the enclosure to contain the small animals within. When selected (as a module, not the prefab containing it), the enclosure can be customized with foliage presets, an avian house and an avian feeding tower. The animals are also bred from this menu. Additionally, the player can use modular building to customize the aviary themselves, even building a custom shell (or leaving the animals free to the open air) thanks to the "unshelled" material type found in the Styling Toolbox.
In spite of UI elements for displaying temperature, cleanliness and habitat suitability, Mini-Aviary animals do not currently have needs. They also cannot escape as they are on set animation loops.

Trivia[]
- The Mini-Aviary was a major surprise for the fanbase, as "Special Exhibits" was a previously unmet goal during the Kickstarter, leading many to believe that they would never end up seeing the light of day.
- The Mini-Aviary was first confirmed during the Early Access announcement trailer instead of in any devlog.
- The environment stylings for aviaries are separate objects from the foliage and rock elements that one would think they consist of. This is seen in the fact that they still contain the old rock assets which can no longer be found elsewhere in-game, and that the foliage is affected by wind in a different way than other plants are.
