Canberra Walk in Aviary is a must for the bird lover - it is home to nearly 600 friendly free flying birds from Australia and around the world. Take a day to observe, capture photos and feed the birds as they are very used to humans, the birds are happy to fly and walk around their huge aviary paying very little attention to the visitors – unless they are keen for a bit of a feed..
The birds typically will approach humans for the food, unless you visit on a stinking hot day like we did. Don't worry as part of the admission fee visitors are given a small plate of food and tub of live mealworms. You can buy extra tubs of mealworms if you run out.
The Canberra Walk-in Aviary is located in O’Hanlon Place in the village of Gold Creek. Gold Creek Village is situated off the Barton Highway (road to Yass) in the Northern Canberra suburb of Nicholls. The drive will take approx 20 minutes from the City Centre. Entrance to the aviary is behind the Green Gold Garden Centre in O’Hanlon Place.
Whether it’s hot or not, many people or none, it’s still enjoyable, and there’s plenty to see – take the time to look past the facade of the trees and in through the branches.
