As a licensed zoo, the Bird Garden is home to approximately 300 birds from 56 different species. We care for many rare and endangered species, some of which are believed to be extinct in the wild. Harewood House Trust’s work around conservation and education is at the forefront of all that we do as part of our charitable aims.
As a zoo, we have a responsibility to protect birds and habitats from extinction, and to support conservation projects here at Harewood. Bird and animal adoption contributes towards this work and the ongoing protection of species at risk.
