About this environment
Iron latticework arches overhead, rusted but still elegant. The domed glass ceiling is cracked in places, letting shafts of sunlight spill through. Strangler vines coil around beams like serpents reclaiming a forgotten throne. Moss carpets the floor in soft, uneven patches. Wil ’O Wisp Lilies glow in clusters — soft blues, greens, and purples — creating pockets of ethereal light.
Key areas of the Aviary; The central dome is the highest point of the structure. The cracked glass lets in beams of light that illuminate drifting pollen like golden dust. The Perch Walks are raised iron walkways once used by the bird keepers. Many are broken or sagging, but the vines hang like curtains making hidden vantage points. The Nesting Alcoves are recessed niches along the walls where exotic birds once nested, now filled with moss, growing lilies, feathers, and perhaps some forgotten trinkets.
