Chilean flamingos

ℹ️ Flamingos off show
Our flock of Chilean flamingos is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to local avian influenza (bird flu).
We don't know how long this will last but we'll let you know as soon as they are safe to be back outdoors!
Thanks for your understanding.

Close alert

Cheeky bronze-winged ducks (video)!

Meet our gregarious, noisy, nibbly bronze-winged ducks – which we wouldn’t have any other way.
Quite difficult to film while stumbling backwards over your own feet; much better to see and be chased by them in person!

They’re also known as ‘spectacle ducks’, in a nod to their Latin name Speculanas specularis and because their white cheek patches resemble little glasses perched on their bills.

Click on the youtube link below to see them in action.
