Duckery

The duckery is open 10am - 5pm during summer for visitors.

Throughout July and early August, the duckery becomes home to a huge number of ducklings and goslings. We hand rear many of our species from our collection in order to ensure their survival and closely monitor their development.

When we hand rear ducklings, they spend their first few weeks in our indoor duckery. Then, once the ducklings are old enough, we introduce them to the outdoor duckery where visitors can see the cute sight of watching them adapt to the outside world.

In winter, some of our youngest, oldest and more sensitive birds stay within the duckery for some extra TLC in the colder months.
