Birdland Park & Gardens, which is home to the world’s Most Popular Penguin, will stage a series of special events to showcase its fantastic variety of feathered friends this year.
Resident celebrity Spike the Penguin, who won the coveted world title last year, is just one of the star attractions at the Gloucestershire park, alongside parrots, cassowaries, cranes, flamingos and many more at the beautiful location in Bourton-on-the-Water.
Feathered mums will be celebrated in March to mark Mother’s Day, before April will see some cracking Easter fun including egg-themed talks and shows, a quiz trail and possibly some egg-stra special arrivals at the park.
The events come thick and fast in the warmer months, including a Penguin Celebration and Birds Behaving Badly.
October Half Term will be ‘Trick or Tweet Week’ – With a myths and legends theme, discover why owls are considered to be so wise; where the legend of the phoenix came from; and find out which bird call the Romans believed to mean imminent death!
Discover more than 50 habitats set in nine acres of beautiful woodland and journey through the world’ most fascinating surroundings. Out of Africa, Parrot Pandemonium, Penguin Shore and the Desert House show how their residents live in the wild and the work done carried out at the park to help conservation of their species.
But the excitement doesn't stop with the avian attractions. Birdland Park & Gardens offers a delightful array of activities and experiences for visitors of all ages. Get up close and personal with birds of prey during thrilling falconry displays, or embark on a journey through time with a visit to the Jurassic Journey—an immersive exhibit where dinosaurs lurk in wait for your arrival!
