The following is a list of birds we have at the centre, click on the links to view a photograph. The table shows what purpose the species has at the centre, for example if we breed them, if we display them, if we fly them etc. This list is forever changing and is not comprehensive. Some of the birds are not on display to the public, this is because they are part of our breeding program and housed in a quieter part of the centre. We have approximately 150 birds (increasing dramatically during the breeding season!) comprising of some 50 species.

We have indicated the number of each species housed at the centre, Sometimes we may have pairs together but they may not yet be breeding. Where this is the case we have still ticked the breeding box as YES due to the fact that this is what we intend to do, it does not necessarily indicate that we have bred them to date.
