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. Indonesian fruit bats (also known as flying fox), muntjacs (tiny deer from China), cassowaries (giant prehistoric-looking birds), dingoes, wallabies, kangaroos, turtles and emus round out the visit. Brevard Zoo supports conservation projects in Papua, New Guinea and the Phillippines.
