Inside / what to see at Bird Paradise
Bird Paradise features eight large walk-through aviaries, each designed to replicate specific global biomes and geographical regions. These habitats allow birds to fly freely in environments that mirror their natural surroundings.
The Heart of Africa is the largest aviary in the park, featuring an elevated canopy walk and suspended bridges. Visitors can observe various species of starlings, turacos, and weavers amidst a forest of African trees and artificial baobabs.
Crimson Wetlands focuses on species from South America, including American flamingos and scarlet ibises. This area features a 20-metre-tall waterfall and a backdrop of red-flowered vegetation.
Penguin Cove is a multi-level, climate-controlled exhibit housing several species of penguins, including king penguins and gentoo penguins. Visitors can view the birds from both an underwater perspective and a terrestrial observation deck.
The Sky Amphitheatre hosts two main presentations: ‘Wings of the World’ and ‘Predators on Wings’. These sessions showcase the natural behaviours and flight abilities of species such as macaws, hornbills, and birds of prey.
Other themed zones include the Amazonian Jewels, which houses iconic South American birds, and the Australian Outback, featuring emus and tawny frogmouths. The Songs of the Forest zone highlights vocal songbirds from Southeast Asia.
