Founded by veterinarian Jesús López Estudillo in the 1960s, it is a civil association created to preserve over 300 different species of birds, both Mexican and the rest of South America, Africa and Asia, mostly endangered.

The logo is the quetzal, as Jesús López Estudillo was the first to achieve captive breeding of the bird, which had been a traditional symbol of freedom, characterized by not being able to survive outside its native habitat.

The origins of the Nest began in the era of the sixties, when the veterinarian Jesús López Estudillo decided to buy land with eight acres containing 10,000 trees and plants devoted to research, conservation and breeding of endangered birds.

The site added exhibition areas for cats, primates, raptors, and exotic birds, focusing on the expanded problem of extinction.

An area specially adapted for the stay of different cats like the jaguar, tiger, and panther, which form an important part in nature.
