Birdland in Bourton-on-the-Water is a rare haven of the exotic tucked away in rural England, boasting over 500 birds from 130 species including pelicans, penguins and flamingos.

Throughout the year Birdland offers an opportunity to view a huge range of birds in their typical habitat. You can see waterfowl hogging the water of the picturesque Windrush river which runs through the seven-acre site, and other species in the 50 aviaries, including tropical and desert houses.

Children can feed the penguins or visit the playground area, and there's a picnic site, a gift shop and a trout lake where visitors can feed the underwater inhabitants.
