Birdworld has a huge variety of native and exotic birds, all living together in a large habitat with environmental niches for everyone. It's a fun experience, watching the birds eat, preen, snooze and generally hang out. It's a fairly popular attraction, so can be busy. It's also not fully shaded, so take a hat on a hot day. Staff advised some of the birds had been a bit feisty and nibbling on people lately, but we didn't see anything concerning.
Small but worth the visit for the main aviary. Up close and direct with the birds. Very beautiful! It only takes 30 minutes but my family enjoyed seeing the birds up close.
I enjoyed seeing the birds up close and personal and the lovely enclosure for them. I would recommend going outside the train operating hours if you really value birdlife without crowds, as it does get busy with tourists, and having only one staff member on the admissions table wasn't ideal. I think next time I'll do the pre-opening tour.
Very friendly staff, allow multiple entries if you have spare time before the train and some wonderfully friendly and character filled birds in the free flight area. Shout out to Royce, the very sweet little green parrot who sat on my shoulder the whole walk around. Turns out he has a thing for tall men!! This is a lovely little attraction with a great free flight area, friendly birds (but yeah, they’re wild animals so can nip if you’re annoying them!) and such helpful and knowledgeable staff Well worth a visit and a good spot to hang out in whilst waiting for your train or bus
I was terribly distressed seeing these birds trapped in a relatively small area for their size. While it meets legal limits, the noise coming from the pump was torture and the birds could not escape it. The water pump drove me crazy being in there and I had to get away. The Cassowary was traumatised I felt, sitting in the corner repeatedly making a sound to himself. Those birds roam very wide areas naturally. The other birds were beautiful but overall I found it a distressing experience and felt the enclosure was just too small for such big birds such as Macaws and the Cassowary and the number of birds in the one place. Overall it was depressing.
Many thanks Mary for sharing your feedback. We have requested our team specifically provide information on your comments as they are site specific. Jim the Cassowary has actually had his roaming area expanded in recent months. He is an old bird, so sometimes they will be quite content to sit quietly. Not sure if you actually took the option of discussing your concerns with our team, but we will find out shortly. These birds are all captive bred and raised, and they are able to achieve great flying mobility with the design of the enclosure, especially the very high canopy.
During our day in Kuranda, in the afternoon we went to visit this beautiful place where you can see many parrots, birds never seen before, and the cassowary (a type of ostrich that lives only in Australia and there are very few of them). If you are lucky and not afraid, you can take a photo with the two large parrots resting on your arm.
Thanks you so much for your very positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed Kuranda.
It is a wonderful experience to see such a variety of colourful and exotic birdlife at Birdworld Kuranda. You will see Lorikeets, Parakeets, Parrots, Cockatoos, Galahs, Swans and the intimidating looking Cassowary. I spent about an hour looking around the various birds on site.
How wonderful to read your positive feedback and what a great experience you had with us.
We visited Birdworld Kuranda during our trip and absolutely loved it — an easy 5 stars from us. It’s not a huge attraction, but that’s actually part of what makes it so enjoyable. We spent around 20–25 minutes there and felt it was the perfect amount of time to really take it all in without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The best part is how close you can get to so many different birds. A lot of them freely walk or fly around you, and if you’re lucky, some will even land on your shoulder or head which makes for some great photos and a really memorable experience. The birds all looked healthy and well cared for, and the whole place had a relaxed rainforest atmosphere that fit perfectly with Kuranda. Staff were friendly and happy to help identify birds or give tips on getting them to interact with you. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area, especially for families, animal lovers, or anyone wanting something a bit different and interactive.
Our Birdworld team are extremely passionate about their work and on their behalf, we are delighted to thank you for this glowing recommendation. You've hit the nail on the head, we are not 'huge' but that's the whole point so there is time to explore our attraction and still have time to explore the Village and take in all it has to offer.
Me and my friends’ visited Birdworld, butterfly sanctuary, and koala gardens, and birdworld was all of our favourite. The birds eat out of your hands and lad on your arms. They’re so friendly and comfortable with humans. It was such a fun and social experience. We all loved it. The birds are stunningly beautiful and colourful - wide variety of them.
Just catching up on these great reviews. Thanks so much Jessical for sharing your experience, especially how comfortable you felt our birds are with the visitors. Your comments are so fantastic and love your feedback that Birdworld is a social experience. Indeed, it is for humans and birds.
Magical experience here with so many different types of birds to appreciate and feed. Many are very playful and not shy amongst humans and so it is a real delight being able to interact so closely with so many different gorgeous birds. A really amazing experience - it was so special to observe the very different behaviours and temperaments of the different kinds of birds. We will be definitely returning on our next trip to North Queensland!
Thanks for your positive feedback and we're delighted that you found our Birdworld Kuranda 'A really amazing experience'.
