Appeal for food donations
We use a wide variety of food for different species at the Park. If you have any spare good quality fruit, seeds, fish etc. as listed below, we would be incredibly grateful for any donations!
You can bring something with when you visit from the list below for the birds and animals, and drop it in to the Gift Shop when you arrive. Or if you are dropping in a food donation only, we also have a Covid secure delivery box in the coach park (at the entrance) where items can be safely left between the hours of 10am and 4pm any day of the week. If leaving frozen food, there is a telephone number on the box that you can call so we can pop out to pick them up straight away. Thank you.
If you are not local to us, then we have added a donations feature on our website for certain species, find out more here.
Thanking you in advance for your support Xx
