Protecting our birds
PROTECTING OUR BIRDS
Due to the Avian influenza prevention measures put in place by DEFRA, to help protect our 1,200 birds, we have 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 before visiting us, thank you.

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.
• Mini Keeper Quiz – until 24th May. Keepers need to know about the birds and mammals to be cared for at Paradise Park. Do our quiz, test your knowledge, and once completed claim your special badge!
• Penguin feeding time and talk 11am and 4pm. The Keepers talk about our Humboldt’s Penguin colony at their pool in the walled garden.
• Otter Feeding.  See our new otters Pippin and Katarni and their pups Sushi, Kimchi, Yuzu and Dumpling at the feeding times 10:30am and 4:30pm.
• 11:30am see the amazing ‘Eagles of Paradise Display’.  See birds of prey like eagles and Tangee a Palm-nut vulture fly free near the Fun Farm. Followed by great up close photo opportunity when the Keepers bring out one or two of birds of prey and answer questions.
• ‘Flight of the Rainbows’ is at 2pm. Option to buy some nectar and help feed these wonderful little Lorikeet parrots, in their walk-through Rainbow Aviary in the walled garden.
• The Free Flying Bird Show is at 3pm. Includes beautiful Amazon parrots, choughs and other birds, flying free on the stage and across the picnic lawn.
• Have a cockatoo fly to your hand – at the end of the ‘Free Flying Bird Show’
  A unique and fun way for the staff and birds to fundraise for Paradise Park’s conservation projects. You have the opportunity to go up on the main stage at the end of the afternoon ‘Free Flying Bird Show’ to give a £1 or £2 donation. Roseate Cockatoos Billy, Rizzo or Rio will be ready to fly to your hand, collect the coin, fly back to the presenter and place it into the collection tin. Great fun and a very popular experience, all for a good cause.
• Paradise Island outdoor playground Climb the towers, slide into the ‘river’ and ride a rocking dolphin!
• The ‘Tropics’ is our open-air development which 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.
