 Aviary and Lepidopterarium
Consisting of hundreds of pristine and crystal clear glass windows, a number rivaled only to that of its inhabitants, it is spacious and the perfect domed getaway for those seeking a more colorful and slightly less polished place to study or pass the time. Benches carved from stone lay along the winding paths within, though one should not be surprised to find that some of the birds have taken it upon themselves to apply a bit of...shall we say decor to the seating? Students may earn extra credit from Professor de Nostredame by taking care of both fauna and flora found here, as well as using scrub brushes to clean the stones of any and all droppings.
Adjacent to this great domed sanctuary is another, smaller, one approximately half its size that is connected by a narrow glass tunnel bookended by sets of heavy glass doors and chains of crystal to prevent each dome's inhabitants from mixing with one another. This second sanctuary houses no feathered friends, but those of the from the the arthropod class Insecta. Butterflies of every color and size flutter about in here, along with some other small friends. Be careful where you step and sit as Professor de Nostredame will not take will to you squishing anything from this exquisite collection.
