点评:Originally I thought this might be focussed mainly for children but I was wrong. We had a fantastic morning there (we were there about 3 hours). The birds and animals are well looked after and the grounds are pretty. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would go back again. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They raised awareness about the decline of birds through habitat destruction, the use of pesticides and poaching because of the pet trade. Not many people may be aware of this.
They are doing a great job rescuing birds that have either been kept in poor conditions as pets (including birds of prey!), where they have been injured and can't be released or they are on a breeding program due to being critically endangered.
We really enjoyed the birds of prey show where they were flying around very close to us: over our head! They are free to fly off if they wanted to which is testament that they are treated well.
There are daily shows with penguin and otter feeding as well as being able to purchase food (very cheaply) to feed some birds in a walk in enclosure.
It was also lovely to see the red pandas, otter family, penguins, pink flamingo, donkeys, sheep and goats too! (Again you can purchase food for under £1 to feed the sheep/goats). I wanted to see the red squirrel but they were shy and hiding away 🙂
Overall a fab day out if you are a couple, a family or on your own and it was good value for money.
翻译:我原本以为这里主要面向儿童,但我错了。我们在那里度过了一个美好的早晨(大约待了3个小时)。鸟类和动物都得到了很好的照顾,场地也很漂亮。我们非常享受这次参观,还会再来的。工作人员友好且知识渊博。他们提高了人们对鸟类数量下降的认识,这些下降是由于栖息地破坏、杀虫剂使用以及宠物贸易导致的偷猎造成的。可能很多人没有意识到这一点。
他们在拯救鸟类方面做得非常出色,这些鸟类要么被当作宠物饲养在恶劣的环境中(包括猛禽!),要么受伤无法放生,要么由于濒临灭绝而正在接受繁殖计划。
我们非常喜欢猛禽表演,它们在我们头顶上飞来飞去,离我们很近!如果它们想飞,它们可以自由飞走,这证明它们受到了良好的照顾。
这里每天都有企鹅和水獭喂食表演,还可以购买(非常便宜)食物喂食步入式围栏里的鸟类。
看到小熊猫、水獭家族、企鹅、粉红火烈鸟、驴、绵羊和山羊也非常可爱!(同样,你可以花不到1英镑购买食物喂羊/山羊)。我想看红松鼠,但它们很害羞,总是躲起来🙂
总的来说,无论您是情侣、家庭还是独自一人,这都是一次绝佳的出游体验,而且物超所值。
