| King Penguin at Birdland |
Situated
in the picturesque Bourton on the Water in the Cotswolds, Birdland boasts a
beautiful natural setting of woodland, river and water gardens that are
inhabited by over 500 birds - including 140 different species such as vibrant
flamingos, pelicans, colourful parrots, laughing kookaburras and magical owls
displayed in over 50 aviaries.
In
addition, Birdland is home to the only group of King Penguins in the country,
whose antics you can observe up-close-and-personal as they cohabit with the
comical Humboldt penguins. Spot them swimming underwater through a glass
viewing panel and don’t miss them being fed at 2.30 daily – a must-see
highlight.

| Bird of Prey Encounter Days |
Find
out more about the birds at one of the talks or feeding displays and meet the
keeper for some interactive sessions with our friendly residents. As well
as the daily summer holiday programme which includes flamingo, penguin, pelican
feeds there are special Bird of Prey Encounters scheduled every Sunday - so get
set for some exciting and informative talks with owls and hawks.
At
Birdland’s indoor Discovery Zone, visitors can learn more about other
egg-laying creatures such as invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles and
mammals. Meanwhile, the play area is an entertaining – and energy diffusing –
distraction for younger visitors and the Penguin Café provides a serene space
to relax and refresh at leisure.
