Canberra Walk-in Aviary

A small family-friendly walk-in with plenty of our feathery friends – birds! The walk-in contains over 500 birds from over 60 species, and if you've ever felt like feeding birds, but didn't want to in the wild, you can do just that here. But be aware, the birds are known to take the mealworms off from you (before you feed it to them), but if you're lucky enough from that, they may land on you.

Address: 18 O'Hanlon Pl, Nicholls
Hours: Sep–Apr: 10AM–5PM; May–Aug: 10AM–4PM
