Birds, birds and more birds

5th Oct 2011

It has been a busy year at the bird show area. We’ve had a few new stars arrive as well as some old stars learning some new routines. In the morning show our sooty owl Oscar has made a great start to his show career, starring in a routine with a twist.
Our afternoon shows have grown as well with the addition of Gladdy our barn owl, showing an amazing natural behaviour used by these birds to hunt. And with the training of Murray, one of our wedge-tailed eagles, reaching its conclusion it is sure to be a fun show.
We’ve also added two new experiences to our program. One is an up close experience with one of our owls – you actually get to put a glove on and come fly the owl with the trainers! Our newest encounter is an up close experience with our beautiful new addition Aurora, a female wedge-tailed eagle. Aurora was involved in a vehicle accident outside of Brisbane earlier this year. Due to the injury sustained she is not able to fly so cannot be released. However, after a lot of time, patience and training she has settled in and gives lucky visitors an encounter they’ll never forget!
So come and say hi at our twice daily show and encounters, there is always something new to see.
