Staff at Birdland Park & Gardens will pay tribute to some of finest feathered fathers as part of a weekend celebration for Father’s Day (Saturday 18th – Sunday 19th June). It’s always a busy time for the bird-keeping team, with eggs and chicks aplenty.

Special activities include a talks programme which highlights some of Birdland’s most hard-working dads, and in some cases it’s the fathers who are literally left holding the baby!

With its combination of woodland, riverside and gardens, Birdland features more than 500 birds, ranging from birds of prey and parrots to cassowaries and cranes in a mix of free-flying and aviary displays.

See England’s only breeding group of King Penguins in their newly refurbished enclosure, explore the immersive Out of Africa area, and venture into the woodland and encounter life-sized dinosaurs lurking between the trees in the Jurassic Journey area.
