Absolutely love it here! I've been going to this place since I was a kid, now I get to bring my own kids. Lovely place to interact with the gorgeous birds, you can buy some food for the birds aswell and hand feed them, the kids love it! The cafè is really nice too, the food was delicious. There was also a play park for the kids next to the café and also a little gift shop at the end. It's a fabulous day out.

Took my father in law here for father's day as he loves birds He absolutely loved it !!!!! Loads of gorgeous tropical colourful birds flying free. Lots that will jump onto your shoulders and arms and even your head! Brilliantly priced not over expensive We went round twice and had lovely food in the cafe. Staff Brilliant and very informative obviously know their stuff We even had a visitor in the car park that's how free they roam

Absolutely lovely variety of birds here with lovely temperament, nice to see the other creatures too, personally the goat is the GOAT of the alternative wildlife but I’m biased because of his adorable little licky tongue. You can find also cabybara, tortoises and meercats! Always lots of smiles when we visit and we could stay here all day, lots of opportunities to handle birds and feed them. Fun for all ages!! ❤️

A wonderful discovery! We decided to stop at Tropical Birdland on a whim after seeing the sign, and it was the best detour we could have taken. 🦜✨ The sanctuary is absolutely stunning and very well-maintained. The variety of birds is incredible, and their colors are breathtakingly vibrant—it’s a true paradise for photography and nature lovers. 🌈 What makes this place special is how interactive the experience is. The birds are clearly happy and very friendly; one of them even took a particular liking to us and refused to leave our hands for quite a while! It’s heartwarming to see a place that cares for over 250 birds, many of them rescued, in such a beautiful, 6.5-acre open environment. 🌿 Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. It’s a peaceful, colorful, and unique experience for all ages!
