** PROTECTING OUR BIRDS
Due to an increase in Avian influenza locally,  to help protect our 1,200 birds we have introduced some biosecurity measures like walk-through footbaths (like a wet mat) at the entrance and various points on site which contains a ministry approved disinfectant against bird flu. If you keep birds, especially poultry and waterfowl at home, can we respectfully ask that you change your outer clothing and footwear if they are used when looking after your birds before visiting us. Thank you. Currently, only a short walk-through element in one bird enclosure and our small Tropical House are closed. We have also moved our flamingos into an off show covered enclosure for their safety. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

WHATS ON Please note all events are weather permitting

• We have a collection of over 1,200 birds including many rare and beautiful parrots, penguins, flamingos, Red-billed Cornish choughs, Golden and Bald Eagles, kookaburras, hornbills and so many more. Plus, beautiful Red pandas, rare Red squirrels, cute otters, tiny Harvest Mice and farm animals.
• Penguin feeding time and talk 11am and 2:30om. The Keepers talk about our Humboldt’s Penguin colony at their pool in the walled garden.
• Otter Feeding.  See our cute otter family Pippin and Katarni and their eight pups at the feeding times 10:30am and 3:30pm.
• Paradise Island outdoor playground Climb the towers, slide into the ‘river’ and ride a rocking dolphin!
• The ‘Tropics’ is home to tropical birds in spacious flights.
  
• Down on the Fun Farm See our mini donkeys, sheep and goats, plus, find our walk through ‘Pets Corner’ with guinea pigs. Children love our Fun Farm Tractor!

• On good weather days Zebedee, the Jungle Express Train, will be out for a spin! Board the train near the picnic lawn and set off through the gardens of Glanmor House on a small route of two circuits around the house grounds (not the whole Park). Includes the top section of Parrot Jungle, a trip through a twinkly lights tunnel leading to behind the scenes at the back of the house. For train times please check when you arrive. There is a small extra charge.
