About this activity

If you are a family who love animals, particularly birds, then we suggest you keep reading! The Canberra Walk-In Aviary is, well, what it says - a huge aviary that you can actually walk into and spend time up close with all the sweet and colourful birds they have on display! 

These birds aren't stuck in cages (yay!) but rather fly freely through the trees, where they can be observed, fed and photographed.

The people behind the aviary felt it was important that everyone who visits can interact directly with the birds, because they love their birds so much they know you will too - and they did good!

You can walk among more than 450 birds which represent about 40 species. You can see finches, doves, parrots, quail...all from not only Australia but the entire world!

Kids of all ages can enjoy this feathered attraction, but they want to make sure the birds aren't scared or disturbed, so kids will have to be on their best behaviour and not try and grab the birds, or make loud noises as this can scare them. 

Older kids will love taking photos of the colours on the birds, and their sweet little faces. They could get some pretty amazing pictures so make sure you take the camera! 

With your admission to the Canberra Walk-In Aviary, you also get a small plate of bird feed. Some of the birds will actually take the food from you, and might even land on you! You can also purchase a small tub of mealworms (parents, these are live so just warn your kids if you choose these!) which can entice some more of the birds to interact with you. 

Say hello to your little feathered friends...!

Canberra Walk In Aviary FAQ’s

Canberra Aviary actively encourages people to put together a safe space in your own backyard for birds to nest. They have lots of tips available on their website for the whole family to get involved in.

A great place to pick up tips on creating a haven for such creatures in your own back yard!

You'll be able to purchase extra tubs of mealworms if you want to! You will get a small plate of apples and mealworms as part of your entry price to give the birds a tasty snack.

It's a great way to teach kids about conservation and taking care of our Australian wildlife!
