The Aviary at the Houston Zoo is a historic work of art created by Mexican-born architect and artist Dionicio Rodriguez located at the Houston Zoo in Houston, Texas, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[1] The faux bois sculptures were built in 1926 and dubbed the "flying sculpture".

Although Hurricane Carla destroyed the aviary's wire superstructure in 1961, Rodriguez's sculptures remain and are composed of a tree, a fountain, logs, ledges and rock bordering a shallow pond which are now part of the flamingo habitat at the zoo.
