Bird City (wildfowl refuge)
Bird City is a private wildfowl refuge or bird sanctuary located on Avery Island in coastal Iberia Parish, Louisiana. It was founded by Tabasco sauce heir and conservationist Edward Avery McIlhenny, whose family owned Avery Island. McIlhenny established the refuge around 1895 on his own personal tract of the 2,200-acre (8.9 km2) island, an approximately 175-acre (0.71 km2) estate known eventually as Jungle Gardens because of its lush tropical flora. Today, snowy egrets continue to return to Bird City each spring to nest until resuming their migration in the fall.
