Chilean flamingos off show

Our Chilean flamingo flock is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to avian influenza (bird flu). We will let you know as soon as they are safe to be outdoors. Thank you 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.
