In 1989 Camacho formed the Puebla Bird Catchers' Union, which now maintains an aviary that is housed in a gleaming geodesic dome, 75 feet (25 meters) high and 180 feet (60 meters) wide, which mirrors a 360-degree view of mountain cloud forests and replicates their images in a pool at its base.
It is a reflection, too, of 10 years of concerted efforts by its caretakers, the low-income members of the non-profit Puebla Bird Dealers Union, to encourage the reproduction of a dwindling wildfowl population on which they depend for their living.
Although the aviary was closed to the public all year for the work, it reopened as one of the finest in the country, and with a correspondingly higher entrance fee of $1.30.
