Dunedin Botanic Garden Aviary at 83 Lovelock Avenue houses parrots, kea, native birds, and exotic species within the main botanic garden. Sprinkler systems in the enclosures add to the birdwatching experience. Free entry.
Been here many times over the years and is still a great free thing to do in Dunedin. They have a huge range of different parrots and other birds. Great place to bring the kids on a nice day. You can also walk down to the botanic gardens from nearby which I would also recommend. Gates close at 6PM

âGreat free attraction for families and bird lovers. Enclosures feel a little bit small for the Kea and other bigger parrots but all the birds seem happy enough.â
