Birdworld Kuranda

“Visited May 2025 If you are a senior show your card for a discount on entry. A handout is given which is used to identify the exotic and native birds in the aviary. You are advised to use the tape supplied to cover your earrings as the birds are quick and will remove them from your ears. There was a jar full of single earrings the birds had extracted. And YES the birds do bite! So, if you don't want to be bitten it's as easy as not putting your hand out! I thought this was terrific. So many colourful birds in a huge netted aviaries free to fly. The only birds in an aviary are the tiny finches. The blue macaws are quite happy to sit on your shoulder while you roam around, so do many of the other birds. Staff wander around and are happy to answer questions. The curlews were hand bred and just lie around on the walking paths not taking any notice of the humans. There is a mandarin duck in the enclosure which is so beautiful as well as many other species. You can also see a cassowary up close. I loved this aviary being able to see the birds without any obstructions.”

“Fantastic and stunning bird sanctuary. Highly recommend to families, couples and friends. Massive array of bird species ranging from large, colourful and friendly Macaws to smaller species. They even had a cassowary. Most of the birds were very friendly and loved being fed. Staff were very nice and the sanctuary itself was large, vivid and scenic. It made for a really nice walk around, pictures don’t do it justice. Highly recommend. Well done!”

“What a fun experience especially for the kids! The birds are friendly and you can feed them with bird food available to purchase at the entrance. Just be mindful of jewelry and buttons as some birds love them and might snatch them from you. There is a water feature where some birds, ducks and turtles hang out. Overall, its a lovely experience for the whole family.”
