Nest-Cafe
The lorikeets have a warm drink that is made of baby food, Complan, glucose, syrup, treacle, honey, hot water and sugar.
Greedy neighbours
The feed pellets given to the Chilliean Flamingos have to be ground down to a powder before being mixed with water to stop native birds like ducks and gulls from steeling their dinner!
Expensive tastes
It costs £20,000 to feed all the birds for a year.

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.
Valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
Please note that this is a digital gift. Your certificate, letter, tickets and fact sheet will be emailed to you after purchase.
