Birds overload.

Great experience, not a fan of caged birds,but this is several large enclosures. Felt the smaller areas could do with more greener.I know you want to see the birds,but felt uncomfortable they didn't have much foliage The Macaws had a huge enclosure & the up close & personal experience was awesome,peacock performed with a magnificent display,but of course it is mating season. Turn your hearing aids down if you have them!!

Superb and such fun for the whole family

This is our second visit to this amazing place. The aviary experience was once again superbly guided by Lydia. We had a golf buggy and a very filling picnic lunch provided by the team. I would recommend this very highly as a must stop destination for visitors and locals alike.

Not recommended

Not good value for money. Bird enclosure is OK but not many birds . Duration was very short Guide with megaphone to loud and very hard to understanvalue. Garden tour not worth the money.

Operator response

Hi Cor We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel your visit offered good value but we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Just to clarify, Bird World consists of five large walk-through aviaries, home to more than 600 native and exotic birds from around the world. Our guided Bird World experience is approximately 50 minutes, which is deliberately managed with the wellbeing of our birds in mind. Your admission also includes access to explore our extensive gardens at your own pace. We also appreciate your feedback about the guide’s audio equipment. We introduced amplification after receiving feedback from other visitors that guides could sometimes be difficult to hear, particularly with all the activity and bird chatter in the aviaries. Finding the right solution has been a little tricky - our curious birds also have a habit of pulling equipment apart! We’ll certainly take your comments about the volume and clarity on board as we continue to refine this. We understand every experience won’t be for everyone but we appreciate you giving us a visit and letting us know where yours fell short. Kind regards MBG Team

Birthday

Beautiful place love the location Quite expensive for a family tho, we did ask if there were any birthdays specials as it was my mums birthday and we got a "definitely not" so maybe a birthday discount or something would be nice apart from that we had a wonderful day

Operator response

Hi Lanie We’re glad you had a wonderful day overall and appreciate your feedback around family pricing and birthday offers. We don’t currently offer a birthday discount but we certainly could have communicated that with a little more warmth than “definitely not” - sorry about that! Thanks for the 4 stars and the suggestion, we hope Mum still felt suitably celebrated! Cheers MBG Team

Great day out

We had the best day. We took our grandaughter to celebrate her 11th birthday and I don't think she stopped smiling all day.

Operator response

Hi Rhonda An 11th birthday with smiles ALL day - we’d call that a pretty successful celebration! We’re so pleased your granddaughter had such a wonderful time exploring with you. Thanks for celebrating her special day with us and for the fabulous 5 stars! Cheers MBG Team

Face to face with the Birds

Fantastic afternoon exploring Bird World tour. The guide was great and introduced our small group to the many beautiful birds in the walk through the aviary. The birds are used to tourists walking through their space are very friendly and love to sit on your shoulder in the hope of a treat from the Guide.

Operator response

Hi Susan There’s nothing quite like meeting the residents of Bird World face to face... or shoulder to claw! We’re delighted you enjoyed your afternoon tour and the chance to get up close with so many of our beautiful birds. It sounds like a smaller group gave you plenty of opportunity for some memorable interactions too. Thanks for the 5 stars, hopefully a few feathered personalities managed to steal your heart along the way! Cheers MBG Team

A surprise around every corner!

What a fabulous day we had to celebrate our granddaughter’s 18th birthday. An experience we’ll never forget. From a parrot that perfectly sang an operatic version of “Old McDonald’s Farm” to the spectacular vibrant macaws landing on our heads and shoulders, there was a surprise around every corner. Everything was beautifully presented and maintained and the welfare of both bird and visitor alike were priority. The staff were friendly and efficient and the picnic boxes were pre-ordered provided fresh and tasty delicacies — well worth the money!

Operator response

Hi Kym We're delighted your family had such a memorable day! It's especially lovely to hear you noticed the care that goes into our gardens and most importantly, the welfare of our birds and animals. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos and for choosing to celebrate such a special milestone with us. We hope this is one 18th birthday your granddaughter will be talking about for years to come! Cheers MBG Team
